Do you know the details of your bike?

If your bike is stolen, useful information to have when making a police report is:

  • where and when the bicycle was parked
  • the make
  • the model
  • the colour
  • its serial number
  • a photo of your bike
  • any distinguishing features

By simply recording these details, will assist police in both identifying if a bike is stolen, and finding the rightful owner.

Save your postage stamps

We are inviting members of our school community to save any postage stamps. A box will be placed on the Sacred Space in the office area, where students can deposit stamps which will be sent to Sr Ursula (Mercy Sister), who in turn will pass them on to the Mercy Sisters, via the Chancery.

 

Attendance Update!

Our current whole school attendance average is 88.83.
