St Patrick's Day 17th March!

On Tuesday the 17th March, we will be celebrating the Feast of St Patrick. The staff and students will be celebrating Mass at 11.30am. You are definitely welcome to come and join us.

Also, the children are invited to come to school dressed in green clothing.

All proceeds will be going to Project Compassion and more information will be sent home early next week.

A big thank you goes out to our Mini Vinnies members for organising all of the activities.

Principal for the Day Raffle

Also, it was agreed that the 'Principal for the Day' raffle will be on again this year, where the winning student will actually help Mr Hyatt being the school principal for the day. Raffle tickets will go on sale very soon.
