On previous occasions we noted that our hopes must be reliable and based on fact rather than fantasy, and they also […]

“Four students stand outside the Principal’s office at the end of lunchtime. They know that they’re in trouble because what happened in the playground was their fault! Their arguing and name- calling to each other has only made things worse. Now, each one stands ready to defend their own actions and blame everything on at […]
News from St Benedict’s Church
St Vinnies to Brewarrina As mentioned last month our local St Vincent De Paul group organised a collection of goods and donations to go to the people of Brewarrina.
