The School Advisory Council AGM will be held on Wednesday 23 November 2022, commencing at 6:30pm in the school staffroom. This meeting is the only School Council meeting which non elected members are able to attend. We would be very pleased to see members of our parent community at this meeting.

The School Advisory Council is an advisory body which supports the Principal and Parish Priest. This group is not a decision making body. It is responsible for offering advice/support on school operational policies, finance, building and maintenance, staffing and curriculum and to keep in touch with the school community. Some sub committees are formed to assist these functions. Members are required to attend a handful of meetings each year. A high level of integrity and confidentiality is required.

Cultural Immersion Visit

On Wednesday 14 September,  we were delighted to host 35 Year 11 students and staff from Xavier High School Albury and St John's College Dubbo who were visiting Moree for a Cultural Immersion as part of their Mission Week. 

They shared a bbq with us and joined the K - 6 students in their learning spaces. They concluded their visit with an impromptu concert, with 2 visiting students joining Mr King and our band. The visitors were very impressed with our facilities and the St Philomena's students. The group presented us with a hand made message stick which mapped the travel from Albury to Moree.
