Principal’s Report

Laudato Si’ Week  

On 24 May 2015, Pope Francis issued his encyclical letter on caring for our common home, Laudato Si’. Each year, Laudato Si’ Week gives us an opportunity to renew our commitment to respond to the cries of the earth and the cries of the poor. During Laudato Si’ Week 2024, you are encouraged to tap into the ecological wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia and Indigenous Peoples everywhere.  Within our school community, our students and staff continue to care for our common home.  The St Kilian’s Parish Community Garden is a wonderful place in our community to remember how we can all care for our common home.
