Many thanks to all those who were able to kindly donate goods or vouchers for our 'Tinnies for Vinnies' drive this term. The local branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society was overwhelmed by the volume of donations from Columba families who took the opportunity to put our school value of Generosity into action. The goods will support local people in times of need.

We remember the words from scripture...

Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. - LUKE 6:37–38

This is a practical example of living the words of Jesus' good news.
