First Confession Information and Enrolment
Thank you to those who were able to make it to our Information and Enrolment session this week. If you were unable to attend, please let Mrs Clarke know, as the Parish requires all children to be enrolled in the sacrament.
Please note: Students must be baptised Catholic to receive the sacrament.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. There will be a School Mass (Years 1 - 6) on Wednesday 18th February at 10.00am. Parents are most welcome to join us to receive the ashes and pray with us. Please do not park in the Primary Bus Bay, so the Infants’ children can disembark safely.

Family Mass - K, 3 & 6
Please join us on Sunday 22nd February at 9.00am for our Family Mass. Students are involved in the Mass through reading and the offertory. All families are invited to attend and celebrate Mass as a Parish community. Students from Kinder, Year 3 and Year 6 are asked to bring morning tea to share.
