Happy Week 6!
First Holy Communion
Our candidates are busy preparing for this special day in their faith formation.
First Holy Communion Mass will take place at 9.30 on 31st May. We ask that as many families as possible make it along to this Mass to support our students: Molly, Grace and Delia.
Catholic Schools Week 2026
This week, we join Catholic schools across the region to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the distinct mission of Catholic education, celebrate our achievements, and acknowledge the vital role our schools play in the wider community.
Here is what’s happening at our school to mark the occasion:
- Deanery Mass (Today): Our student leaders are travelling to Tamworth today to proudly represent our school community at the annual Deanery Mass. We wish them well as they join together in worship with leaders from across the region.
- Whole-School Wellbeing Day (Thursday): To celebrate our community, all students will participate in a fun-filled Wellbeing Day this Thursday. The day is designed to promote connection, mindfulness, and joy, with students participating in a variety of engaging activities across the day.
Important Note for Thursday: Students are invited to come dressed in casual clothes for our Wellbeing Day. Please ensure outfits are sun-safe, weather-appropriat and include enclosed footwear suitable for activities.
Thank you for your continued support of our school community. We look forward to a fantastic week of celebration!
