WEEK 8: Wednesday, 16 September - Year 4
Grandparents Day
We warmly invite all our Grandparents to celebrate a Liturgy, Morning Tea and Open Classrooms on Friday 30th October. More details to follow.
First Holy Communion
This weekend, our Year 4 students will celebrate their First Holy Communion, a truly special milestone in their faith journey. As they prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time, they have been learning about the meaning of the sacrament, reflecting on God’s love, and engaging in prayerful preparation with the Parish sacramental program.
This is a joyful moment not only for the children but for their families and our whole Parish Community. We keep them in our prayers as they take this important step, and we look forward to sharing in the grace and excitement of the celebration.

Religious Education Test
The Religious Education (RE) Test in Sydney Catholic Schools is an annual, standardised assessment used to evaluate student knowledge and understanding of the Archdiocesan Religious Education curriculum. Our Year 6 students are entering an important stage of their learning as they prepare for the Religious Education Test in early Term 4. Over the coming weeks, they will be revising key Scripture stories, exploring Catholic traditions, and strengthening their understanding of how faith is lived in everyday life. Their teachers are guiding them through focused lessons, practice questions, quizzes and rich discussions that help deepen both knowledge and confidence.
