CELEBRATING OUR FAITH 

Infants Prayer Celebration

This Friday, our Infants classes will come together for a Prayer Celebration with the theme of Thanksgiving. Each class will take part in presenting the liturgy, with a number of students leading readings and other ministries. The Prayer Celebration will be held on Friday, 7 November at 9:30am in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. All families are warmly invited to attend and join us in giving thanks.

🧦 Socktober 2025 – Crazy Sock Day and Coin Drop Success!

In week 2, our school joyfully celebrated Socktober 2025 in support of Catholic Mission. Throughout October, students learned about Sharon and her family in Mpika, Zambia, who are part of the Maize Mill Project helping local families grow, process, and sell maize to improve food security and create brighter futures.

On Thursday, 23 October, students and staff came together for our Crazy Sock Day and Coin Drop, proudly wearing their most colourful socks to show their support. The generosity of our community was incredible — together we raised $820.60 for Catholic Mission.

During our Socktober liturgy, students brought forward symbols representing the people of Zambia and listened to the Gospel of the Beatitudes. These words of Jesus remind us to live with mercy, compassion, and a heart for justice — values beautifully shown in the way our students gave to help others.

A heartfelt thank you to all students, families, and staff for your generosity, enthusiasm, and missionary spirit. Your kindness will make a real difference to families like Sharon’s in Zambia.
