Principal's Report
Dear St A’s Community,
Week 9 done and dusted!
I hope all the dad's had an enjoyable Father's Day last Sunday. Father's Day can hold many emotions for both men and women - those who had a loving father that passed away, those who never knew their dad, those expectantly waiting to become a dad soon, and countless other situations surrounding the father-child relationship. God can use this special day to draw us closer to Himself - the one true Father who remains faithful and full of unconditional love.
