Catholic Education Week

This week we see the commencement of Catholic Education Week in our Sale Diocese. 

This year’s theme is, Catholic Schools- Places of Encounter. ‘Let the Words You Speak Always Be Full of Grace,’ based on the Bible Scripture, Colossians 4:6.

This message reflects our commitment to promoting kindness, respect, and compassion in our schools and communities. Catholic schools are more than just buildings where students come to learn. They are Places of Encounter where students can grow academically, spiritually and personally.

The ‘Speak with Grace‘ theme aims to encourage students and school communities to use their words to build up others, to speak out against injustice, and to spread love and hope in the world.

You may be interested to know that the Diocese of Sale covers 38 Catholic primary schools and seven Catholic secondary schools educating almost 20,000 students and employing more than 3,000 staff. The Diocese spans a geographic area from Melbourne’s outer south east suburbs from Narre Warren and Cranbourne, to Wonthaggi and Philip Island in the south, and right throughout Gippsland to Orbost in the east.

Whole School Mass

On Friday 26th May, we will come together as a whole school to celebrate the Feast Day of Our Lady Help of Christians.  Father Paul Zaher will be celebrating the Mass in Father Joseph's absence and we welcome him to our school community.

An invitation is also extended to the whole school community to join us in for this Mass celebration. Mass will be in the school hall at 12:30p.m. We hope to see you there.
