Heavenly Father,
May the light of Christ shine brightly in our homes and throughout our community this Christmas season.
Help us to share your love with everyone we meet.
Amen
We wish all our students, families, and staff a holy and happy Christmas filled with the grace of God.
The third candle of Advent is the Candle of Joy. It reminds us of the joy that Mary felt when the angle Gabriel told her that a special child would be born to her - a child who would save and deliver his people.


A huge thank you must go to all our wonderful families for their fantastic efforts and contributions during our recent Socktober campaign! It was inspiring to see our students embracing this important initiative. Thanks to your exceptional generosity and support, our school community successfully raised a total of $371.60. These valuable funds will be sent directly to Catholic Mission, where they will provide essential opportunities and support to families in Zambia. Thank you once again for your generous contributions to this most worthy cause!


It is with sadness that we announce Father Saji, will be moving on to become the Parish Priest in Moree. We wish him every blessing in this new chapter. Even in his short time with us, we have been so grateful for his wonderful presence and his strong support of our school community, students, and staff. We thank Father Saji for his leadership and assure him of our prayers as he prepares for his departure in early January.


A sincere thank you to all our families who contributed so generously to the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal this year. The wonderful volume of non-perishable donations we received ensures that a large number of local families will be delivered much-needed hampers during this Christmas season. Your incredible efforts and kindness are a true example of the spirit of giving and compassion we strive to uphold, especially at this special time of year.




Last Friday, we celebrated our Year 6 students as they took part in their special Graduation Mass. It was a beautiful and fitting farewell, and we extend our deepest gratitude to Father Saji for leading us in such a meaningful mass. The care and effort put in by everyone leading up to and on the day truly made it a special farewell for our graduating students as they prepare for their journey to high school.
