Feast Day 2025
On Friday 14th November, Week 6, we will be celebrating our school Feast Day. Everyone is invited to attend our special Mass. Our celebration will begin with a procession around the school grounds and church block of the image of Our Lady of the Southern Cross at 9am. This will then lead into the celebration of Mass at approximately 10am.
Following the break, students will get to participate in many fun activities provided by Kaboom Kids.
We look forward to this special celebration - of our school and faith community - asking God to bless us all!
November - Month of Remembrance
November is traditionally a month of remembrance within the Catholic Church. This is due to the Feast of All Souls which occurs of 2nd November. We are called to keep in our prayers all those who have passed away, especially those within the previous 12 months. Many churches and other places, such as schools, have a Book of Remembrance available during the month for people to add the names of loved ones. Through this act, we rmember them, and also invite everyone else to also pray for the repose of their souls.
Once again, we will have our Book of Remembrance in the front office foyer for you to add the names of loved ones who have returned to our Heavenly Father. As a school and faith community, we will keep all those names in our prayers throghout the month.
1/2 Faith Night
On the evening of 11th of November (6-7pm), students in Years 1 and 2 and invited to attend a family faith evening. This will be another opportunity to gather as a community in faith, to pray together, listen to a story, and to create something special to take home and help us continue our journey of faith.
We invite as many of you as possible to join us in Learning Centre 1 for this evening together.
Community Masses in 2025
We have continued to have wonderful attendance numbers for our Community Masses so far this year.
We encourage you to spread the word of our Community Masses and invite as many family, friends, neighbours and others to these celebrations.
