Our Catholic Identity
Celebrating the Feast of St Joseph - 18 March
Come along and join us!
This year we will celebrate the Feast of St Joseph with a whole school liturgy (students only) in the school hall on Friday 18 March. Following the liturgy, we invite 2 members from each family to join the students and teachers in a picnic lunch at 1:00pm in the school grounds (weather permitting).
Please bring a chair or picnic rug to sit on and some yummy food.
The P&F will also be providing students with an iceblock.

First Week of Lent
We begin our annual Lenten Project Compassion journey by learning about Anatercia, a 12-year-old girl living in a small village in southern Mozambique. She began to take on more and more adult responsibilities as her mother has chronic health issues.
She did most of the household chores and had to travel up to five hours every day to collect clean water. Water scarcity also meant that harvests were poor and there was never enough to eat.
With your support, Caritas Australia’s local partner, Caritas Regional Chokwe, was able to help Anatercia’s family to irrigate their farm to improve their food security. They also improved water access for households in the village, delivered sustainable farming training, and provided Anatercia with essential school supplies.
Anatercia’s health, education and quality of life have improved, along with the outlook of her whole community for all future generations.
