Religious Education & Parish News
Easter Sunday brought a deep sense of joy as we Christians across the world celebrated the Resurrection.
It is a message that resonates across cultures, hope, renewal and Gods promise of new life, while grounding us firmly in the heart of our Catholic tradition during this sacred season.
ANZAC DAY
Our whole school came together today for our ANZAC Day commemorations. Students participated with genuine reverence and maturity, engaging thoughtfully in each part of the service and demonstrating a strong understanding of the significance of ANZAC Day.

PARISH INVITATION- Alpha Program
Our parish is preparing to begin its fourth Alpha season and we are very grateful for the chance to once again invite people into this beautiful space of encounter and discovery. Alpha is open to everyone, those with strong faith, those who are searching and those who may simply be wondering if God has a place in their lives.
Alpha offers a gentle invitation to pause, reflect and explore lifes deeper questions in a safe and welcoming environment. Many people find it to be a place of friendship, renewal and genuine connection.
Each evening includes a shared meal, a short video and an open conversation where all questions are welcome and every voice is respected. There is no cost to attend.
The next Alpha series will run over nine weeks on Wednesday evenings from 7.00 to 9.00 pm, beginning Wednesday 29 April.
