Sacrament of Reconciliation
Wednesday 29 April - (6.30-7.30pm) Parent/Child Reconciliation Evening in MPR
This workshop, co-presented by Father John/Father Tom and Mrs Richardson, is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child and learn more about Reconciliation and how we can apply it into our lives. Candidates with at least one parent are expected to attend.
Friday 1 May - Conferral of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament will be offered as part of the normal school day. A timetable will be shared with families. Students, in small groups, will be assigned a time and will be accompanied to the Church by their teacher and/or the Religious Education Leader (REL) Gabrielle Richardson. Father John/Father Tom will conduct the Sacrament next to the altar through an individual and personal conversation with each candidate. Once completed, students will then be accompanied back to class by school staff. Where possible, parents are encouraged to attend to support their children.

2026 School Closure Days
As was communicated to families last year...
* Time in Lieu (TIL)
The current Catholic Education Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2022 (the Agreement) has 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.
