From the Director of Junior School 

Mrs Melissa Thirgood 

Dear Families,

 

The past two weeks have been wonderfully busy in the Junior School. We celebrated a fantastic Book Week, highlighted by a surprise pop-up performance from our Year 5/6 Choir and a colourful parade of Book Week costumes from our Kinder to Year 6 students.

This past fortnight, we were delighted to welcome our newest families as our 2027 Pre-Kinder sessions commenced, giving our youngest learners their first glimpse of school life. Our Year 6 students enjoyed participating in Try Rowing Day, and eight students celebrated a significant milestone in their faith journey by receiving their First Holy Communion at the Cathedral, completing their Sacraments of Initiation. 

 

Meanwhile, our Year 3 students visited Hadley’s Art Hotel to explore a local art exhibition, and our Prep students enjoyed a special excursion to Bunnings, where they created heartfelt Father’s Day gifts for the important men in their lives. 

 

It has been a joyful fortnight filled with learning, creativity, faith and community.
