St Vincent de Paul Fundraiser 

This Friday, 31 July, our school community will celebrate Jersey Day to raise funds for St Vincent de Paul. Students are invited to wear their favourite team jersey or favourite team colours and bring along a gold coin donation to support those in need.

During Mary MacKillop's Feast Day Mass on Friday 7 August, we will present our donations to Chris Nolan from St Vincent de Paul. In the spirit of St Mary MacKillop, we continue to live out her call to “never see a need without doing something about it.”

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting this important outreach.

Mary MacKillop Feast Day

All families are warmly invited to join us as we celebrate the Feast Day of St Mary MacKillop, Australia’s first saint and founder of the Sisters of St Joseph.

St Mary MacKillop dedicated her life to helping those in need and ensuring every child had access to education. Her well‑known words, “Never see a need without doing something about it,” continue to guide our school community. As we gather for Mass, we give thanks for her courage, compassion, and unwavering trust in God.

Term 3

We began Term 3 with a joyful celebration of the Feast of St Joachim and St Anne. Our Grandparents Day Mass was a beautiful gathering of faith and family, and the children were delighted to welcome grandparents and grand‑friends into their classrooms afterwards. Their visits brought warmth, stories, and plenty of smiles. 

This term continues to offer rich opportunities for prayer and community through class liturgies, Parish Masses, Reconciliation, and the commencement of Holy Communion preparation sessions. We look forward to sharing these meaningful moments together.

Yours in Faith, 

Kirsten Kirkwood-Yule
