A prayer for the end of the term 

Dear God, 

As we come to the end of another term, we thank you for being with us. 

Thank you for giving us joy all this year. 

Thank you for surrounding me with Your peace 

and thank you for another term to start over again. 

We ask You to please bless our learners, their families and our staff. Amen


On Tuesday, 9th September, I attended the Sydney Catholic Schools Liberal Arts Symposium. Guest speakers included Elizabeth Sullivan (Executive Director, Institute for Catholic Liberal Education, USA) and Peter Crawford (Dean, Institute for Catholic Education, USA), who delivered keynotes on understanding a Liberal Arts approach to Catholic education. The day provided a valuable opportunity to build awareness and gain insights into how schools are integrating the Liberal Arts within Catholic education.

Thank You for a Picture-Perfect Day!

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the students who took part in our school photoshoot last Thursday. It was a fantastic day filled with smiles, energy, and creativity as students were photographed in various locations around the school to help refresh our website and social media platforms.

 

A special shout-out goes to Eloise and Aidan, who truly shone as the stars of our video feature—your confidence and enthusiasm were inspiring!

 

We also want to thank our wonderful parents for ensuring the students looked so neat and tidy. Your support made a big difference and helped us capture the best of our school community.

 

Stay tuned—the updated website will be launched next term, so be sure to take a look!
