Catholic Identity

Class Masses

The St. Monica’s Parish is excited to share the Eucharist with the classes from school each week. If any families would like to join your child’s class on a Friday, please make your way to the Church for 9.15 start (note the earlier start time for 2026).

Whole School Mass

Last Wednesday, the whole school went to St. Joseph's Church, Quarry Hill as we gathered for our 2026 Opening Mass, led by Fr. Brian and Fr. Jackson, to warmly welcome our students, staff and families into a new year of learning and growing together.

During the Mass, our classroom prayer cloths were blessed — a special reminder that faith will continue to be at the heart of what we do each day. 

We were also proud to present our 2026 student leaders. We look forward to seeing them guide and inspire throughout the year ahead.

Thank you to the families who joined us, we are so grateful for your partnership and look forward to continuing 2026 together in faith, learning and community.  Some beautiful photos of our Mass can be seen on the School's Facebook page.

Reconciliation Program

This week we started the Sacrament of Reconciliation Program. Information went home to Year 3&4 students but is open to any student that has already been baptised. If you are interested in your child participating in the program, it's not too late. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated later this term, Thursday 26 March. Please contact Mr. Chalkley for any further information.
