Dear families

Last week we celebrated our Christmas Mass, which was, as always, a beautiful way to gather as a community as we reach the end of another school year. It was lovely to see so many families, friends and staff there as we also farewelled Sophie and Angus who are graduating this year. We wish them and their families all the very best for the next chapter in the lives of these two incredible young people.

A big thank you to Father James for celebrating Mass with us and for all the chaplaincy support he has given throughout the year. We are so grateful for his presence in our community.

I also want to acknowledge our amazing staff. Their hard work, care, and dedication make everything we do possible. To our families, I thank you for your support and for the privilege of teaching your children. It is a gift we never take for granted.

As you know, I’ll be taking some leave in the coming months. Part of that time will be for professional learning and renewal, and I’ll also enjoy some long service leave. I’m looking forward to some travel, relaxation and, most importantly, celebrating my son’s wedding.

As we enter this Christmas season, I wish each of you peace, joy, and time to share with loved ones. I look forward to seeing you all in Term 2, refreshed and ready for the year ahead.

Christmas Blessings
