Good afternoon families,

This was such a busy but wonderful week to finish the end of Term 1.

On Monday afternoon we started with our Holy Week Liturgy. Each level participated and sang an Andrew Chinn song that was written to commemorate the event of Holy Week.

Easter Egg Raffle

Thank you to the PFA for organising the Easter Egg raffle. The children were so excited when the curtain revealed all the Easter Egg hampers to be won. The Easter Egg Raffle raised $2000. At the last PFA meeting we had a brief discussion on ideas as to what the PFA money could go towards this year. We will continue this discussion at the next meeting.
