Dear Parents and Carers,

Confirmation

Our prayers are with the children who have been preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Today is their special day and we pray that they will always remember this very special time in their spiritual journey.

Semester One Reports

During the weekend, I had the privilege of reading the Semester One reports. I am filled with immense pride at the incredible hard work and achievements of all our students. Each student has demonstrated outstanding effort and commitment to their learning and are to be congratulated on their achievements.

I would also like to give special recognition to our dedicated teachers. Their commitment and passion for the students' growth and success are evident. I wish to thank them for fostering an environment where every student can flourish.

The teachers and I are eagerly anticipating the upcoming parent-teacher interviews. These meetings will provide a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate your child's strengths and to collaboratively set goals for the second semester. As parents, your involvement and support play a crucial role in their educational journey.

Vinnies Family School Sleepout

I want to express my gratitude for the Winter Sleepout event last Friday evening. It was a wonderful experience that helped us understand how we can support the homeless. Special thanks go to Mrs. Stella and Mrs. Gray for organizing this impactful event, and to the wonderful parents and students who braved the wet weather to participate in the sleepout. Your commitment and compassion are truly inspiring.
