Catholic Education Week:
We normally celebrate Catholic Education Week by attending a special mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral on 17th March (His feast day) followed by a concert in the gardens however we are unable to gather due to Covid19. Our students will still celebrate being a part of our Catholic community by having a special focus on St. Patrick. Our senior students will take part in a special liturgy and our middle/junior students will say a special prayer. Please click on link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGHWiAGpIP0

Fourth Week of Lent 15th March
Arsad, an Indonesian farmer, had no toilet in his house, so always had to walk into the forest to the open defecation area. His family was often sick and open defecation caused many neighbourhood disputes. With the support of Caritas Australia and its partner agency, Laz Harfa, Arsad took part in hygiene, sanitation and financial management training. He then funded the building of a toilet in his house and helped other community members to save money to construct their own toilet.
Now, Arsad’s family is healthier, their community no longer practices open defecation and is more harmonious. Arsad inspired his community to ‘Be More.’
Watch a short film about Arsad’s story here.
Whole School Assembly
On Friday 26th March we will be having our first whole school assembly since Covid19 and lockdown. Our student leaders will be presented with their leadership badges and our Year 6 students will be presented with their Year 6 Graduation tops. This assembly will be held at 10:30am. All are welcome to attend.
Holy Week:
We will have a whole school liturgy on Thursday 1st April at 2:30pm , Sacred Heart Church. Our focus for Lent has been 'Be More' which aligns with service to others. Jesus showed us at The Last Supper His own example of serving others when he washed the feet of His disciples. Our student leaders will show how they serve others by washing the feet of people in our church community who also serve. This liturgy will be organised by the School Captains and Vice Captains, Social Justice and Arts student leadership groups.
All are welcome to attend.
