Opening School Mass

It was truly heartening to see so many families and friends join us today as we gathered to celebrate our Opening School Mass. We would like to extend our gratitude to Father Gleeson for leading us in such a meaningful Mass whilst Father Thaddeus is still visiting his family. The presence of our parent and parish community added a wonderful sense of warmth and unity to the occasion, making it a beautiful way to officially mark the beginning of our school year. We congratulate our new school leaders who were commissioned during the Mass and we wish them the best in 2026 as they step into their roles with commitment and spirit. Thank you once again to everyone who contributed to making today’s celebration so special, and we look forward to a year filled with growth, faith, and shared success.
