MASK WEARING AT TCC
As Covid and flu infections continue to increase within the community we're encouraged to play our part in helping to prevent the spread by following the recommendations from Queensland Health supported by the Queensland Premier. When indoors and physical distancing is not possible, wearing a mask will help protect each other, hand washing and sanitisation and following general hygiene rules will go towards creating a safer environment for us all. We ask you to consider these recommendations.

CATHEDRAL RESTORATION FUND
Dear Catholic Schools' Parents,
Thank you for your support of the Drakes IGA Supermarkets key tag initiative which has raised $50,000 for St Joseph's Cathedral Restoration Fund. Congratulations! If you shop at Drakes IGA in Farm Street or at Emu Park you might like to consider picking up a key tag from Mrs Loram at the College office to scan next time you collect your groceries and Drakes will donate a percentage to help preserve this Central Queensland icon. Alternatively you may download the my Drakes APP.
Many thanks for your continued support. Stay safe and God Bless,
