Term 4 Events

October - Month of the Rosary 

The Rosary helps us to see our human lives in the light of Christ. It is a prayer that can be prayed at any time; however, its simplicity and repetition make the Rosary particularly helpful on journeys and moments of waiting. 

October - Catholic Missions month.

Each year in October we participate in fundraising for Catholic Mission. Catholic Mission is a fundraising aid agency for Pope Francis. This year the funds raised will support families in Timor-Leste facing health and wellness challenges.

CRAZY SOCK AND COIN LINE DAY - Thursday 26th Oct for Catholic Missions. 

Everyone is encouraged to wear some crazy socks and bring a GOLD coin for the Mission appeal as well as coins for their class coin line. 

MARRIAGE & FAMILY WEEK - Week 2 16th -20th Oct

This week our diocese is celebrating Marriage and Family Week. It provides an opportunity to explore with students aspects of the Catholic understanding of the way we experience God’s faithfulness. We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do.
