Gospel Reading
John 8:1-11
Jesus does not judge or punish the woman who made a mistake. Instead, He shows her kindness and tells her to make better choices in the future.
Questions to think about:
- How does it feel when someone forgives us instead of getting angry?
- Why do you think Jesus chose kindness instead of punishment?
- How can we show forgiveness to others in our daily lives?
- What can we learn from this story about making good choices?
Catholic Education Week
( 16th to 23rd March)
The celebration highlighted the unique role of Catholic schools in nurturing both academic excellence and spiritual growth. It reminded us that education is not just about gaining knowledge but also about shaping character, fostering compassion, and living out Gospel values.
The Social Justice Leaders, Rose, Rakshana, Veronica and Maggie along with Mrs Daujat and Mrs DeVisser were privileged to take part in Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral, joining other schools in a joyful celebration of the day. Afterward, we continued the festivities with a lively concert in the park at Carlton Gardens.

Foundation- Year 2 Faith night

Sacrament of Reconciliation
Thank you, parents, guardians, and staff, for supporting our students on their faith journey.
We were privileged to have a special lesson led by Fr. Andrew, who shared the significance of the sacred items in the Church.
Additionally, we had the wonderful opportunity to meet Andrew, the artist who painted the crucifix at St. Peter's, and learn about his inspiring work.
Ramadan Mubarak!
As we recognize the holy month of Ramadan, we extend our warmest wishes to our Muslim students, families, and staff observing this sacred time. Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community—a time to grow in faith, practice self-discipline, and show kindness and generosity to others.
As Catholics, we can find a deep connection between Ramadan and our own tradition of fasting, particularly during Lent. Both practices encourage self-reflection, spiritual renewal, and drawing closer to God through prayer, sacrifice, and acts of charity.
May this time of Ramadan bring peace, strength, and blessings to all who observe it. Let us continue to learn from one another, respect our different traditions, and walk together in faith and unity.
Blessings!
