Trinity Sunday

On Sunday 26 May we celebrated Trinity Sunday. On this day we focused on the three persons in our one God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Family Mass and the Feast of Corpus Christi

At the 8.30am Mass on Sunday 2 June the Parish is celebrating Families. Families are invited to come and be a part of the celebrations and family members are invited to read, take up the offertory, and altar servers are encouraged to serve. Following Mass there will be a cup of tea. It would be appreciated if you could bring a plate to share. To help with the preparations, please contact the school if your family would like to have a special role at Mass as mentioned above. Thank you. Sunday is also the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ or Corpus Christi. On this Sunday each year we especially focus how Jesus is truly present in the appearance of bread and wine

Living Well, Learning Well - Pastoral Care and Wellbeing

Legends of the Light Shine

Our Legends of the Light Shine focus for the next 2 weeks is “Peacemaker”. Being a peacemaker is an important skill to learn and a positive character attribute to foster. It reinforces our school rules for life to be people who show care and respect for themselves and others.

Laudato Si’ Week

Last week we celebrated Laudato Si’ Week with a number of wonderful activities including our Laudato Si’ Mass, sharing books with an environmental theme, craft using recycled and repurposed materials, reflective leaf drawing to look closely at how amazing creation is and planting seedlings.

"Let Your Light Shine” support others to let their light shine and remember “We Shine Brighter Together”
