Dear Families,

On Friday we celebrated the Beginning of the School Year Mass. It was a beautiful liturgy centred around the theme of Together in Hope. Fr Angelo spoke to us about hope and the importance of kindness.

Do all the good you can

In all the ways you can

In all the places you can

At all the times you can

To all the people you can

As long as you can!

Staff were commissioned at the mass and our Year Six students received a blessing.
