Nativity

The Prep students stole the show on Friday for the annual Nativity Play! They were absolutely outstanding learning lines, actions and numerous songs to help us celebrate the coming birth of Jesus. And what's even more oustanding is that they learnt all this on top of their Production preparations these past few weeks!

A huge well done to all the students involved; lifelong memories for them to always look back on whether they portrayed Mary, an angel, a star, a cow or a narrator (any many more!). Thank you to all the students and teachers for your active engagement and encouragement of the Prep team on the stage. And finally, thank you to all the parents, siblings and grandparents who came in to join us; it is such a wonderful event to celebrate with our community.

St Vincent De Paul Advent Giving Drive

A big thank you to those families who were able to donate to the St Vincent De Paul Advent Giving Drive this year. Each year, this initiative provides an opportunity for our community to spread joy in the spirit of giving.

Thank you for your generosity and support in making this Advent season a joyful time for all.

Advent

Advent is a special season in the Christian calendar. It's a time for getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. This year, Advent starts this Sunday 30 November.
