Letter from School of St Jude
Dear All at Rotary Club of Murray Bridge,
Greetings from The School of St Jude.
It’s always such a great surprise for our sponsors to receive letters from the St Jude’s students whose scholarships they support.
Please find Dorcas’s letter to you attached, we hope you will enjoy reading it.

On behalf of Dorcas and all of us at St Jude’s, thank you, All at Rotary Club of Murray Bridge, for your continued support through this challenging time.

Dear All at Rotary Club of Murray Bridge, Greetings from the School of St Jude! As you know 2020 was a very challenging and disrupted year which prevented our Standard 7 students from having their Primary Graduation celebration. The good news is Anania has been given his Standard 7 Certificate of completion and we have attached his photos for you to enjoy. As always, your support for Anania’s primary academic scholarship is deeply appreciated and we are sure you are just as excited as we are to see how he progresses into his new chapter in secondary! We hope you are keeping safe and please let us know if you have any questions. Kind regards
