Principal's message

Loving God,
We pray for the sacramental children
Who come to Your table for the very first time on Wednesday evening.
With hearts full of wonder and hands open in faith,
They will receive the gift of Your presence in the Eucharist.
Bless them as they take this sacred step,
Surrounded by family, friends, and parish.
May this moment be the beginning of a lifelong journey
Of walking with Jesus, trusting in His love,
And growing in grace, kindness, and compassion.
Fill their hearts with peace and joy,
And help them always remember
That they are deeply loved by You.
Guide them in Your light,
And keep them close to Your heart.
Amen.
Dear Parents,
Eucharist
On Wednesday evening at 6.00pm the children who have been preparing for the sacrament Eucharist will receive Communion for the first time. These children have been preparing over the past weeks and are very excited for Wednesday evening.
Orima Surveys
This week you may receive an invitation to participate in a parent survey. This survey has been sent to all schools in Catholic Education Sandhurst. It is an important way for us to gather information from parents to inform our school improvement. I would be grateful for all parents who are randomly selected to receive an invite, to please complete the survey.
Children in grades 4-6 will complete the survey at school and staff have already completed the survey. The information gathered is important in helping guide the future development of our school and provide valuable feedback for our system.
Second hand uniform sale continues in the hall from 8.30 in the morning until 9.00 and then at home time.
