Mater Dei Country Fair, Sunday October 17, 2010 at Mater Dei Estate, Macquarie Grove Road, Camden

This is a day when our Parents and Friends Association shines as they organise a fantastic day.  At our Country Fair we provide great stalls, wonderful displays and a wide variety of sumptuous foods.  We also hold our ex-students reunion on the same day and we welcome students from around the country back to visit and share their stories. This is a very powerful and wonderfully moving day in the life of Mater Dei.
 

This is a day of celebration at Mater Dei as we celebrate the cultural diversity of our country and our school. This day is an open day at our school where each of the classes present displays and performances on a particular country studied. We also have a multicultural feast as we appreciate foods from around the world. All are welcome and we guarantee a great day.

The Good Samaritan Sisters first came to Camden in 1910 and the following year they brought the children from their Orphanage in Manly to enjoy the healthier 'country' life.

On Sunday 22 August the Sisters who live and minister on the Mater Dei Camden property will celebrate this anniversary with a prayer service at 2.30pm followed by afternoon tea and a tour of Wivenhoe, the Chapel and Mater Dei School (part of which was the Orphanage) and the works in progress towards the new Mater Dei School.

If anyone would like to join us on 22 August, please register your interest by telephoning the school reception on (02) 4655.7481 or by email.
