STUDENT OF THE WEEK - CATHOLIC VALUE AWARD

This week our Saint Hero is St Augustine who displayed the value of Judgement.  Next week's Saint Hero will be St Francis of Assisi who displayed the value of Joyfulness. We encourage you to discuss each Saint and their value with your child/ren, helping them to learn how they can live out our Christian values. 

SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM - RECONCILIATION 2024

Now is the time for our Grade 2 families to begin thinking about the next phase of their child's sacramental journey. We will be holding a sacramental information evening for parents and sacramental candidates on Wednesday 31st July.  Candidates will then receive the sacrament of reconciliation on Tuesday 16th August @ 6pm. A google form will be sent to all parents of Grade 2 baptised Catholic students next week. If all recipients could complete and submit the form ASAP that would be greatly appreciated.  If you do not receive an email next week and believe you should or if  you have a child/ren in older year levels that you would like to join this intake of candidates please email Jo Thurley for more information.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

On Wednesday, 5th June we celebrated World Environment Day, our Grade 6 Catholic Identity team reminded all students about the importance of this day and how we regularly take care of the world we live in when we follow our school rule of respect the environment. 

The 2024 Theme “Our Land our Future” explores the concepts of land restoration, desertification and drought resilience. 

FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART - 7th JUNE

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is brought to the forefront twice each liturgical year. First on the Feast of the Sacred Heart which is celebrated on the third Friday after Pentecost, and again on October 16, the memorial of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, one of the foremost saints to promote devotion to the Sacred Heart.

The heart is the symbolic center of feeling and emotion, and it represents Jesus’ deep love and affection for us. It is sometimes shown by itself, but often with an image of Jesus, and then above his chest. Most frequently it is depicted as red, the color of blood, which Jesus poured out for us (Jn 19:34).

FRIDAY PARISH MASS

Over the coming weeks the following classes will participate in our Friday service.
