Gratitude

We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Year 6 teachers and students for preparing the Opening School Mass in Week 3. It was a beautiful and sacred occasion, bringing our community together in celebration of the Eucharist and honouring the school leaders for 2025.

Ash Wednesday

This Wednesday, 5th March, students from Years 3 to 6 will join former Our Lady Star of the Sea students at St Patrick’s College to celebrate Mass, marking the beginning of Lent.

Lent is a sacred season in the Catholic Church — a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we prepare our hearts for Easter. It is a period to grow closer to God by making sacrifices, helping those in need, and renewing our faith. As a Catholic community, we will also be supporting Project Compassion during this time, working together to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Sacrament Enrollment

Please see the below Compass that was sent out to parents and carers in Year 2, 3 & 6.

Dear Parents,

Students and their families are warmly invited to attend the Sacrament Registration Mass on Saturday, 8th March, at 5:00 pm. This will be an opportunity to collect important information and register for the upcoming sacraments.

We look forward to celebrating these significant milestones in your child's faith journey
