Restorative Justice
Grace offers us another version of justice. Grace makes room for justice that is restorative, and dedicated to healing the wounds of injustice. But the grace thing is hard work. It takes faith—because it dares us to believe that not only can victims be healed, but so can the victimizers. It is not always easy to believe that love is more powerful than hatred, life more powerful than death, and that people can be better than the worst thing they’ve done.

Pre-Kindy Concert
Holy Rosary End of Year Concert
On Tuesday 3rd December, we invite the school community to join us for our annual End of Year Concert. As we advised you earlier in the year, this year our concert looks slightly different to what we have done in the past, with each individual class performing their own item. Our concert will begin at 5pm and we anticipate it will conclude around 6:30pm. It should be a great night!
How do you lose a school bag?!
Please have a look at the lost property table outside admin and see if any of these items belong to your family, thank you.
Year Five Design & Technology
Our Year Five students put their creativity and engineering skills to the test by designing and building their own playgrounds in Design and Technology! 🛠️🌳 From slides to swings, each project reflects their unique ideas and problem-solving talents. 👷♂️✨
Lunchtime Fun!
At lunchtime, the fun never stops! 🦆🎉 Mr. Kinder took the lead in organising the biggest game of Duck Duck Goose Holy Rosary has ever seen! A huge game, plenty of laughs, and so much fun! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
SEQTA Engage Parent Log-in to access reports
It is important that you please check your log in for SEQTA Engage as early as possible so that you will be able to access your child's report at the end of this term.
To do this you need to go to the following site:
https://holyrosarydblv.engage.cewa.edu.au/ or follow the link from our school website to “SEQTA Engage - parents” and use your username and password credentials that you used previously.
Year Six families and families not returning in 2025, please ensure that you have downloaded or printed off any reports you wish to keep a copy of. Your child will be removed from Seqta at the end of the year, and you will no longer have access to these documents.
