Leadership Communication

Pentecost and Multicultural Day is one of the most important celebrations in our school year because it brings together everything we value as a school family. This year was our biggest celebration yet, overflowing with colour, culture and joy.

The children spent time learning about the meaning of Pentecost, the moment the Holy Spirit came to the disciples, giving them courage, the gift of new languages, uniting people who spoke many different languages, and beginning the life of the Church. It is a story of diversity, unity and shared purpose, which mirrors the heart of our own community.

Celebrating Multicultural Day alongside Pentecost helps our children see these links come alive.  

They learn that the Church was born in a moment where difference was not a barrier but a gift. They see that the Holy Spirit brings people together, not by making everyone the same, but by helping us recognise the dignity, beauty and value in one another.

Throughout the day, the children had the chance to see their classmates in a new way, not just as friends they learn with, but as people with rich stories, traditions, languages and family histories. They shared stories of food, clothing, music and cultural symbols, and in doing so, they discovered how much they can learn from one another.

At the same time, they also celebrated what makes us the same.  

They recognised that no matter where our families come from, we belong to one school, one community and one shared story. The day reminded us that we are a school family shaped by respect, welcome, faith and love.

Pentecost and Multicultural Day is more than a colourful celebration. It is a living lesson in community, identity and the Holy Spirit at work among us. It is a day where our children see that difference is something to honour, and unity is something we create together.

Sorry Day and Reconciliation

This week we have marked Sorry Day and begun Reconciliation Week with learning, reflection and prayer across the school. The children have explored the stories behind Sorry Day, why it matters and how it connects to our call to walk gently, listen deeply and work for healing. Through class discussions, prayer and age appropriate learning, students are beginning to understand the importance of reconciliation and the role we all play in building respectful relationships with First Nations peoples.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership,
