Year 9 students hosted a Beanie and Scarf day in order to raise money for the Presentation Sisters working in Papua New Guinea.
The money raised will go to supporting the ongoing formation and spiritual development within the community, as well as community health work, teaching and pastoral ministry.
The Presentation Sisters run a health clinic in Ningil and travel to the 20-30 surrounding villages to provide health care. They conduct classes on hygiene and cooking and village programmes such as building bush toilets.
The Presentation Sisters provide teacher training workshops in Wewak and teach in village schools.
These schools are isolated and poorly resourced. They run pastoral ministry projects in supporting the women and youth in the villages, informing women of their rights and teaching basic skills in sewing and literacy to those who have been unable to attend school.
Thank you to all the students and staff who contributed in not only raising $310, but in raising awareness of the work of the Presentation Sisters.

π This term, Erica, Ajla, and Ericka travelled with Mrs Horan and Ms Pelham to St Ritaβs College in Brisbane for the Nagle Education Alliance of Australiaβs Student Conference! π Our students participated in a range of enriching activities, including First Nations experiences and workshops focused on social justice issues. They enjoyed a special conference dinner, celebrating new friendships with students from Presentation Schools across Australia. The conference concluded with a beautiful Mass, and our students proudly represented Nagle College, deepening their understanding of what it means to be a Presentation Person. πβ¨ From our students: "We are honoured to have been part of the NEAA Conference in Brisbane this year. The experience expanded our understanding of Presentation charism and the legacy of Nano Nagle. We learned the importance of applying gospel values like courage and compassion to our lives. The hands-on experiences with Indigenous Australian culture, history, and art have truly deepened our appreciation for these traditions. Weβre inspired to bring the lessons weβve learned back to our school and continue to make a difference as Presentation people." #NEAA2024 #PresentationPeople #NaglePride #BrisbaneBound
