Dear Parents and Caregivers
Celebrating Community
Our Grandparents Day Liturgy and Morning Tea was a wonderful celebration. It was great to see so many of our student's grandparents and important elders in their lives in attendance. Thank you to Miss McGovern, Miss O'Callaghan and the Year 3 students for leading us in the Liturgy and to all the staff who were part of the Grandparents Day Staff Team. Thank you to all who brought in morning tea too. It was great to see everyone enjoying the morning's celebrations and activities.

Interschool Athletics Carnival
Congratulations to the students in Year 3 to 6 who represented St Helena's at the 2026 CPSSA Interschool Athletics Carnival. All the students were amazing in their efforts and sportsmanship. A fantastic team effort to finish 4th overall, and in 2nd place for the boys. Thank you Mr Mark McCormack for your time in preparing the team. Thank you too, to Mrs Genevieve Dapaah and Miss Melissa Myles for your supervising on the day. It was also great to see so many parents there supporting the team. Thanks for coming along!
