FIRST EUCHARIST

This Sunday 11th August, we have twenty-one students taking their First Eucharist. 

Our thoughts and prayers will be with the students as they complete this stage in their sacrament of initiation. 

GRANDPARENTS/SPECIAL FRIEND DAY

Last Thursday we had a wonderful celebration for GRANDPARENT'S & SPECIAL FRIEND'S DAY. We started with a whole school mass followed by various activities and a shared lunch. Excited visitors from ARCARE Aged Care joined us, the choir performed beautifully, and there were house activities such as word finds, origami, crafts, quizzes, and more. The food spread was diverse and abundant, featuring platters of sushi, fruit, home-cooked pasta, antipasto platters, doughnuts, and other delightful sweets. The students had a blast and wished their grandparents and special friends could stay the whole day or go home with them. We want to extend our gratitude to all the grandparents and special friends for the wonderful and crucial roles they play in the lives of our children. The love, care, and extra spoils you provide are truly appreciated. We can't wait for Grandparents and Special Friend's Day 2025.
