St Patrick's Day Mass
Our school leaders had a wonderful morning celebrating St Patrick's Day Mass at our stunning cathedral, followed by a picnic lunch in the park. Thank you for representing our school so beautifully, and thank you to Mrs Carr & Ms Hudson for supporting our students in this experience.
Reconciliation Liturgy - Year 3
Our Year 3 students reached a significant milestone in their faith journey on Tuesday 24th March as they celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It was a truly heart-warming liturgy, filled with reflection, prayer, and peace. We would like to extend much thanks to those who supported our students during this sacred time in particular Father Shymon and Father Martin: Thank you for your gentle guidance and for making the students feel so comfortable and welcome. Your support in helping them understand the gift of God's forgiveness is greatly appreciated. Our Families: To the parents, guardians, and families who walked alongside the children, helping them prepare their hearts at home. Thank you for being such wonderful witnesses to the faith and witnesses of our children's change of heart.
Harmony Day Liturgy
Our school community was treated to a beautiful display of faith and friendship as our Year 1/2 students led our Harmony Day prayer service on Thursday 19th March. With confidence beyond their years, the children reminded us that while we all come from different backgrounds and carry different stories, we are all created in the image of God and held together by His love. A huge thank you to the Year 1/2 teachers and students for such a lovely service.
Easter
Holy Week Prayer Service THIS THURSDAY 9.30am
As we approach the end of a busy and fulfilling term, we want to extend a heartfelt Easter blessing to all our families, staff, and students. This season of Resurrection reminds us of the enduring power of hope, renewal, and God’s unconditional love. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful support you have shown our school community and to us personally in our first term as REL's. Whether through participating in our recent prayer services or your daily commitment to walking in faith with us - thank you. As we enter Holy Week, may the peace of the Risen Christ fill your hearts and homes with joy.
We look forward to seeing everyone return refreshed and inspired in Term 2!
