Sacrament of Confirmation Workshop

On Wednesday evening, our Year 6 students along with their parents, attended the Confirmation Workshop run by 24:7 Ministry. It was great to see so many parents supporting their children. The workshop provided a wonderful opportunity for our parish community to come together and deepen their understanding of the sacrament.

Mother's Day Breakfast and Raffle

A big thank you to our P&F for their hard work in organising the Mother’s Day breakfast, coffee van, and amazing raffle prizes. Your dedication made this event possible and was greatly appreciated.

I also want to express my gratitude to all our staff for their support in encouraging students to celebrate their mothers and mother figures. They have all been very busy this week preparing for the big day. Your efforts in nurturing these special bonds are greatly appreciated.

Pre Primary Mother's Day Assembly

Today we were entertained by our adorable Pre Primary class who sang us their Mother's Day song and told us ALL the reasons they love their mummies. Congratulations and well done to Miss Edwards, Mrs Tie and Mrs Kovacevich for all of their hard work; the Pre Primary assembly was truly entertaining.

Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday to all of our amazing mums and mum figures, in our school community. Your unconditional love, endless sacrifices, and unwavering support light up the lives of your children. Thank you for your patience, care, and the countless hugs and kisses that make every day brighter for your children. May your day be filled with love, pampering and some time to recharge your batteries. Have a wonderful day on Sunday!
