Season of Lent 

The season of Lent has arrived. It is a time we set aside each year to remember the love of God that is poured out through Jesus on the cross in His death; and His defeat of death. Christ's death and resurrection brings Eternal Life to you.

During this beautiful time, I offer you a space just to be. Join me at 2:30 pm on the seats in Alison Street on Thursday 16th March

Gardening Club                               

Year 3 and 4 students have been helping create a new garden area on the primary side. The students began designing and drawing their dream garden. Their imaginations were big, bold and very creative. 

The students planted some new plants in the undercover area. 

On Tuesday we planted some seedlings into the new garden beds donated by Bunning Warehouse Ashfield, a massive thank you for supplying the soil, garden beds and seedlings.   

Kind regards
