Catholic Schools Week
Next week, Holy Trinity School joins with Catholic schools across the nation to celebrate Catholic Schools Week (CSW) — a special time to give thanks for the gift of Catholic education. It is a week of prayer, celebration, and community, where we come together to recognise the learning, faith, and service that shape our school.
This year, our celebration is deeply enriched by the Year of Jubilee theme: Pilgrims of Hope. As a school community, we are reminded that we are part of a larger journey: walking together in faith, guided by hope, and looking to the future with trust in God’s promises. As pilgrims, we carry the light of Christ into the world, supported by the love and unity found in our Catholic tradition.
Catholic Schools Week gives us a chance to pause, celebrate, and walk forward with renewed purpose and joy, and 'to have life and live it to the full.' (John 10:10)

A Prayer for CSW
God of light and hope,
We thank You for the gift of our Catholic school community.
As pilgrims on a journey, guide our steps with love and purpose.
May our hearts be open to learning, our hands ready to serve,
And our voices filled with hope for the future You promise.
Bless our students, staff, and families this week and always.
Amen.
