In the words of St Ambrose, “No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.”

Teachers at St Joachim’s Catholic Primary School Lidcombe has been busy doing exactly that!

The school ran a gratitude project in celebration of National Day of Thanks.

The personal focus for the 2020 National Day of Thanks was to be grateful all year round and to give thanks through simple gestures to those who have made a difference in your community and life.

Teachers put their creative hats on and decided to make thank you cards for their parent community, to let them know the work they do to support students and keep them safe is always appreciated.
