Year 8 Formation Day
Thank you to our Year 8 students for their participation in this week’s Formation Day. It was a meaningful and reflective experience for our cohort. A special thanks to the choir who led our hymns, to the students who volunteered to read, and to those who took up the offertory. Your willingness to serve added greatly to the sense of community and spirit throughout the liturgy.

With assessment tasks due across a range of subjects in the coming weeks, Year 8 students are encouraged to stay organised and make the most of their study time. Families are welcome to refer to the Year 8 Term 3 Assessment Plannerto help support their child with upcoming deadlines.
