RE & Wellbeing 

Dear Families,

Beginning of the Year Mass and Gathering

As we begin a new year together we will celebrate as a community at our Beginning of the Year Mass and Gathering on the evening of Wednesday 25th of Febrauary at 6pm. We hope to see everyone there! 

Refreshments will be served after the Mass in the school yard which will provide an opportunity to catch up with one another as a community.

LENT

On Wednesday the season of Lent began with all students attending Ash Wednesday Mass at our beautiful Sacred Heart Church. Lent marks the beginning of the 40 days until Easter Sunday and it is a time of reflection through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  

Pope Leo's powerful message this Lent was for us to open ourselves to listen, fast, and be part of community; urging us to abstain from words of hatred in order to make space for words of hope and peace.

Take care and enjoy the weekend,

Kate

Caritas Project Compassion: Lent appeal

This Lent, our school community is invited to be a part of something incredible. Once again, we are called to stand hand in hand with thousands of others across the country and Unite Against Poverty by supporting Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. 

Last year, our school was a part of a nationwide movement that raised over $10 million to bring opportunity and change to vulnerable communities across the world. This year, with your support, we hope to have an even greater impact. Together, through faith and action, we can bring hope and opportunity to those most in need. 

You can support Project Compassion 2026 through the donation boxes which  each class will receive on Monday. There will also be a donation box in the school office. 

You can also donate: Online at: projectcompassion.org.au

Thank you for standing with us, as we Unite Against Poverty this Lent.

School Attendance

Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) have encouraged schools to share the flyer  School is better when your child is here, in regard to the importance of regular, on time attendance at school.  Being 10 to 15 minutes late over a number of days a week can really impact students ability to enter the classroom and be ready to learn. Similarly for those that regularly miss the last half an hour of the school day - students miss the recap of lessons, experiences and often important information about the next day.

 Every day does matterfor students to feel connected and for their educational outcomes.
