Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
Band Showcase
Our Senior and Junior Bands recently had the opportunity to showcase their musical talents at our annual Band Showcase. Students performed with confidence and enthusiasm, demonstrating the skills they have developed throughout the year and providing an enjoyable evening of musical entertainment.
A special thank you to Daryl and our dedicated music tutors for their guidance and encouragement. Their commitment to our music program has helped the students grow as musicians and performers. It was wonderful to see so many parents and family members present to support our students. The bands will have another opportunity to perform at the 50th Lindfield Art Show and Fair on Saturday, 19 September at 10.00am.
50th Anniversary LASF - set-up
We are looking forward to seeing the 50th Anniversary Lindfield Art Show and Fair come to life.
A sincere thank you to the many parents who have generously volunteered their time and energy to help with the setup tonight. Their hard work and commitment make events like this possible and are a wonderful example of the strong Holy Family community spirit that exists at our school.
We look forward to welcoming families, friends and visitors as we prepare for the 50th LASF.
