Principal's message

Reflecting on Christmas last year, Pope Francis said, 

I greet you joyfully in this Christmas climate, because,  

Christmas brings us the tenderness of a child, and this gives us hope. 

Christmas brings us the care of a mother, Our Lady, who accompanies us our whole lives,

Christmas brings us the example of St. Joseph, who worked tirelessly to carry his family forward.

The message of Christmas is always the family. 

We remind everyone that this Christmas in your homes to remember to celebrate the Holy Family and our own families as we gather with loved ones to celebrate a Christmas filled with peace, joy good health.

Dear Parents,  

Star Night

Thank you for your presence last night at our Star presentation.   It was a delightful evening celebrating the children's experiences in Performing Arts whilst presenting the Christmas Story.   The variety of performances certainly provided great entertainment for everyone and gave opportunity for our students to share their musical skills, their singing and their dancing. 

Transition

Today was the statewide transition day where all children moved onto their 2026 classes.  Walking around the classrooms today, all the groupings appeared to be quite settled and calm.  It seems that 2026 will be a great year. 

St. Vinnies

For the remainder of the year, we have Zooper doopers for sale on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.    Friday is casual clothes day with a Christmas theme. All money raised this week goes to St. Vinnies to help families in Wangaratta this Christmas.  We are very grateful for your generosity last week raising funds for Father Nathan to support the Philippine's.
