Dear Families,

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope that those who were able to have a holiday were able to enjoy a change of routine with family and friends. We are very blessed to be able to

re-energise as we prepare ourselves for another productive term! Along with our purposeful learning activities this term, we look forward to our School Concert in September. Other events include our Feast Day celebration (Kaboom) incursions and excursions, Year 1-6 Swimming Program, Book Week, Fathers Day Stall and celebration.

Year 6 Camp

Excitement abounds for our Year 6 students! Yesterday they ventured down to Philip Island Adventure Resort for four days of outdoor activity! ! It has started very well for them, with quality weather, food and accommodation! They are enjoying the activities. Check out the photos on Instagram. I have headed down there today and will return later this evening. The students return on Friday before 3pm ( we will message parents as to the time) and will be collected from the Performing Arts Area.

Year 5 students - Mazenod / Avila Production Freaky Friday
