CONFIRMATION REFLECTION
On Sunday the 24th of May, Lacey, Kate, Adele,
Cleo and Mackenzie had their Confirmation. We all got ready then came to mass. When we got to the Parish we met our sponsors, Mrs Cesarin and Ana. Ana went over what we would be doing when the ceremony started and then we shook a little to get all the nerves out of us, ready to shine!
Bishop Les confirmed us and told us about Pentecost which was very informative and interesting . We all got a role in the mass. For example, Mackenzie brought the message stick and gospel up with a friend. We all also did a reading which was a bit nerve racking but we all did a great and fantastic job.
At the end we all got certificates and celebrated our Confirmation. At the end of the ceremony Mackenzie and Lacey thanked Bishop Les for coming and gave him a gift that he really appreciated. After mass the newly confirmed students had photos with Father Charles and Bishop Les while the song “Shine Jesus Shine” was playing in the background. After mass we all went to have lunch with our families and got presents that we are so grateful for.

Reconciliation Week 27 May-3 June
The 2026 National Reconciliation Week theme is "All In". This theme is a rallying call for all Australians to fully commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation every single day.
These specific dates commemorate two highly significant milestones in the country's reconciliation journey:
27 May: The anniversary of the successful 1967 Referendum, where over 90% of Australians voted to amend the constitution to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the census.
3 June (Mabo Day): The anniversary of the historic 1992 High Court Mabo decision, which successfully overturned the legal doctrine of terra nullius (unoccupied land)
From Tuesday May 26 - Wednesday 3 June, each class will be engaging in activities linked to reconciliation. These will provide opportunities for students to explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, deepen their cultural awareness, and consider how they can contribute to a more united Australia.
ST KEVIN’S FEAST DAY 3 June
On Wednesday 3 June we will be celebrating our patron saint.
This year we will begin our celebrations with mass at 10:00am in St Kevin’s church.
We welcome all parents and friends to join us in celebrating mass.
