Marriage & Family Week 2019

This week we have been talking about Marriage and Family Week for 2019. The theme this year is The Family: School of Virtue. Classes have been discussing virtues. Virtues are gifts from God which lead us to live in a close relationship with him. Virtues are like habits which need to be practised; they can be  lost if they are neglected. 

The week will end on Sunday 28th July with a Family Mass at Mary Help of Christians Church at 9.00am. The Family Mass will be hosted by Kindergarten, Year 3 and Year 6. 

Please join us in celebrating this special occasion.

Confirmation Dates

Next Tuesday 30th July is the Confirmation Information Evening for parents and families of those students wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. It will begin at  6.30pm and will be held in the Year 6 Rooms.
