Religious Education & Parish News Confirmation, Our Confirmation ceremonies were a beautiful celebration, with our well prepared candidates showing that lovely balance of nerves and excitement as they received the Sacrament. It was wonderful to see the range of inspiring saints they had chosen and to have them so beautifully accompanied by our Year 5 choir and parish choir., Bishop Greg shared a great story about the “Remind Me Later” option that kept appearing when his phone needed an update. For five years he kept pressing it, partly because he was worried it might be a scam, until eventually his phone was barely working. He connected this beautifully to our relationship with God. We can keep putting it off and saying “remind me later”, knowing God will still be there, but our faith and relationship with God are much stronger when we give them regular attention rather than waiting until we really need them., This Term's Community Masses, St Thomas Parish Weekend Mass Schedule

My Lord and My God

Congratulations to Our Confirmation Candidates

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 students who recently celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation. They represented St Thomas the Apostle with maturity, reverence and confidence across three very special ceremonies.

From their thoughtful choice of Confirmation saints to the way they participated in each part of the celebration, our candidates showed wonderful leadership and commitment to their faith journey.

Congratulations to each of our newly confirmed students, and thank you to our Year 5 choir and parish choir for helping make the celebrations so memorable.

Book Week Dress Up

We are so excited to see all the amazing bok week costumes on Monday. Families are warmly invited to attend the book parade at 9am on the basketball courts.

Please note if your child prefers not to dress up, school uniform as usual is perfect.

Car Line Safety

A polite reminder to families that the area outside Galilee and Foundation is designated for Car Line pick up only after school.

You will see some new cones marking the areas where families are welcome to wait to collect our junior students.

Once you have collected your child, please exit via the main gates near the Administration Office to help avoid congestion around the Car Line gate.

Thank you for your assistance in keeping our children safe and our afternoon dismissal running smoothly.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Acting Deputy Principal
