Sacrament of Confirmation

Congratulations to the students in Year Six who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Thursday 18 September which was presided over by Bishop Les Tomlinson and our own Fr Michael Kong. It was a wonderful event bringing together our wonderful community of students, families, staff and parish.

A sincere thank you to the Sacred Heart Parish Parish Choir who enriched the evening with their angelic singing. Thank you to all the families who attended.

This concludes our Sacramental Program for 2025. We are looking forward to 2026!

2025 School Closure Days

As was communicated to families last year...

* Time in Lieu (TIL)

The new Catholic Education Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2022 (the Agreement) introduces a formal time in lieu (TIL) process for teachers. The Agreement provides that a principal may require a teacher to undertake work and attend a school activity outside the normal hours of attendance (i.e., in excess of the 38 hours or normal hours for a part-time teacher) and when this occurs, it will attract TIL. 

Principals should prepare for the accrual and acquittal of TIL through their annual planning process. The timing of the acquittal of TIL is at the discretion of the principal, having regard to the operational needs of the school and causing the least disruption to the educational program of the school.

Principals may elect to acquit TIL through designating days during the year on which all staff and students are not required to attend school.
