Feast Day for Mary MacKillop

On Friday August 8th, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Mary MacKillop, a significant figure in Australian history and the founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart.

This day offers a wonderful opportunity for us to reflect on the values she held dear: compassion, courage, and a deep commitment to serving others, especially children and those in need. St. Mary MacKillop dedicated her life to providing education for all, a mission that resonates deeply with our school's own values. We encourage you to speak with your children about her story and her inspiring legacy of kindness and perseverance.

All students will attend Mass this Friday at 9.30am for this important feast day. Parents are most welcome to join us.

Reaching Out to Help Others

This term we focus on helping students from our Parish Priest, Father Kingsley’s home in Africa. Father Kingsley grew up in Owerri, a city in Nigeria. Each year when father returns home to visit his family he tries to bring something practical to help the poor. So we are asking that our students bring stationery items suitable for a primary school student in Nigeria eg coloured pencils, textas, crayons, small notebooks, rubbers, sharpeners or colouring books.  Each class will have a container that they can add to any time during this term. Thank you in advance because I know our community will be very generous.
