SCHOOL MASS

A huge thank you to Mrs Phillips and her cohort of Stage 1 students for helping to prepare and lead the mass on Friday. It was wonderful to celebrate and pray for our grandparents and to see so many of our beautiful grandparents in attendance.

Congratulations to Benitto (Credit), Archie (Distinction), Grace (Distinction), Nevaeh (Distinction) Ruby (High Distinction) and Arley (High Distinction). 

DEANERY MASS

Last Wednesday, Mrs Bearman and Mrs Wilson accompanied our year 6 students to Quirindi where they joined students and staff from our southern deanery schools to celebrate the Jubilee Mass. A special shout out to Arley who read as part of the mass. Thanks to Chris for getting us there and back in style!

GRADUATION MASS 

We have allocated Monday, 8 December to be our graduation day for our Year 6s. Mass will start at 5.30pm followed by dinner for students and their parents. More information will come closer to the date. 

HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORT

This week we began our special program for High School Transition for all our year 6 students. We are lucky to have Ryan continuing to support our students in this special phase of their lives. The program will run each Thursday for the next four weeks.
