Family and Faith
From the Family Educator
Welcome to the new school year of 2026, together as a community we share the journey with our students of faith, learning and love. Let us all embrace the Sydney Catholic Schools theme this year.
As the Family Educator my aim is to help our students, families and greater community with a number of initiatives that will bind our community in love and faith.
Throughout the year I hope that many of you will join and participate in these activities as together we engage and celebrate “Our love is not just words but something real and active.” John 3:18

Welcome to Kinder 2026
Last Friday 30th January at Our Lady Star of the Sea we welcomed the new Kindergarten cohort and their families. The students have all settled well into school life and the parents shared a “cuppa and chat” at the Morning Tea. We can't wait to see what our little friends achieve this coming year!
