Our Confirmation date for 2025 is Sunday, 19th October (end of Week 1, Term 4). This will be a wonderful chance to gather as a community and to welcome Bishop Murphy to our School and Parish community.
Those candidates who have not enrolled in the sacrament are encouraged to do so by reporting to Father Roel at Mass this weekend (Saturday - 5.30pm, Sunday - 9.00am or 5.30pm). Please ensure you have enrolled and let Mrs Clarke know.

NSW Premier's Reading Challenge - 6 days left!
End date: next Friday 19th September 2025
With only 6 school days left to complete the Premiers Reading Challenge, we would love to get all the students from our Primary Campus who joined the challenge to complete. If your primary child has joined this years challenge and has not completed, please encourage them to see Mr Michell in the library for some quick reads to get them complete.
All Infants students have completed their challenge as part of their library and class sessions. Certificates will be sent home once received.
