Sr Julie Ogbole of the Sisters of the Nativity has been working in our school 2 days a week for the past 5 years as part of her role as Parish Pastoral Associate. As the parish continues to grow with the addition of St Josephine Bakhita and a new primary school in 2027, Sr Julie's workload is getting bigger. For this reason she will no longer work in our school during the week. Instead she will continue to support parents and students with sacramental and pastoral work in the parish.
