Stations of the Cross
Our Year 5/6 students have been working hard in preparation for their performances during the whole school Stations of the Cross Liturgy, which will be celebrated on Monday, 31 March.
Could you please ensure that your child arrives at school by 8.40am to allow them enough time to change and set up in their spaces. Students will need to bring a black outfit to change into in the morning, these should be as plain as possible.
All Parents and Families are welcome to come and participate in the Liturgy. We look forward to celebrating this special time in our liturgical year together.
