Easter Re-enactment
Our annual Easter reenactment will take place on Tuesday, 31st March, at 2:30 pm. (please note the change of date from previous newsletter)
All year levels will take part in bringing the Easter story to life, with each year level presenting a different part of the story.
On the day we ask that all children wear a black t-shirt and black leggings/pants for the re-enactment. Costumes will be worn over the black items.
Students will also be required to bring their black t-shirt and leggings for the full dress rehearsal Monday 30 March.
Teachers will share details in the coming week regarding assistance with props or costume items.
All families are warmly invited to join us for this special event.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful experience with our school community.
Catholic Education Week 15-22 March 2026
Catholic Education Week will be celebrated in Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne from 15-22 March 2026.
This annual event is held to promote the special ethos of Catholic schools and to highlight the great things that take place in Catholic schools everyday.
The theme for this year’s celebrations is, “Christ beside me: Walking in the footsteps of Saint Patrick”.
This year’s theme celebrates the significance of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of our local Church in Melbourne. Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, our mother Church, is named after the saint of Ireland.
Catholic education strives to make a difference in the lives of those in our schools and in the wider community by challenging young people to live out the message of Jesus and walk the way of the gospel to reach their full potential as compassionate, contributing, life-giving members of society.
During Catholic Education week St Kevin’s has several events taking place
- First Reconciliation for our Year 3 students
- Mass celebrating The Feast of St Joseph
- CARITAS - Big walk for water
- Student Leaders attending mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral
- Mass celebrating the Feast of the Annunciation
The Feast of St Joseph
On Thursday 19th March we will be celebrating the Feast of St Joseph with a whole School Mass at 11:45am in the Church
We celebrate the Feast of St Joseph, to honour the husband of Mary and earthly father of Jesus. Known as a solemnity in the Catholic Church, this day highlights Joseph as the patron saint of workers, fathers, and the universal church.
All families are welcome to join us in celebrating St Joseph.
Big Walk For Water
Also on Thursday 19th March at 10:30am we
will be holding The Big Walk For Water,
Raising money for CARITAS.
We will be walking laps of the asphalt for 10 minutes and then placing all our coins in the buckets.
Please help us to raise as much as we can this year to provide clean drinking water to those communities in need.
The Feast of The Annunciation
On Thursday 25th March we will be celebrating the Feast Of The Annunciation with a whole school Mass at 12:45pm in the Church.
The Feast of the Annunciation, celebrated on March 25th, commemorates the Angel Gabriel's announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and bear Jesus, marking the Incarnation of Christ. Held exactly nine months before Christmas,
