St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal
Please give generously to our annual St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal. We ask all students and families to donate non-perishable food items that can be put into a Christmas hamper to help those families in our community who are struggling. Donations can be made to the class teachers or at either school office.

Can all Confirmation Candidates please check if they have accidentally taken home the white sash on loan for the Confirmation Mass? We have two missing. If found, please return it to the school as soon as possible. Thank you!

LIBRARY
Today, our Infants School had a very special visitor - local author Lynette Grimes, who came to share her wonderful new book “Imagine That Max.” The children were captivated as she read aloud and brought the story to life with her warmth and enthusiasm.
Meeting a real-life author helps our young learners see that stories don’t just come from books - they come from people, ideas, and imagination. Experiences like this aim to spark a lifelong love of reading and writing, showing our students that they too, can be storytellers and creators.
Thank you Lynette Grimes for visiting our school and inspiring our children to dream big, read widely, and "live life to the Max", just like Max!

Today, parents face a multitude of modern-day challenges in raising happy, well and resilient young people. Whilst there is a great deal of information available, this can often be confusing and overwhelming for parents looking for guidance.
School TV addresses this as an online resource designed to empower you as parents with credible and sound information with realistic, practical, ongoing support strategies.
