I would like to thank and commend the Queensland Catholic school communities who volunteered their time to assist with the clean-up after recent storms and floods across the south-east region.

Many of our schools were affected by the severe weather events, but due to the support of staff and the community, most schools have been able to return to normal operations fairly quickly.

It has been heartening to see Catholic school communities not only cleaning up around their own campuses but volunteering extensively in the broader community to help those in need. There have been some wonderful examples of a lived faith in action in these extremely trying times.
