All students attending St Louis de Montfort's Aspendale have the right to feel safe. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people is a fundamental responsibility of all within our school.
Good afternoon families,
It has been a busy week with the near completion of the demolition stage of the building and 4 Confirmation masses. A huge thank you to the Yr 6 teachers, Mrs Marylene Douglas and Father Andrew for all the hard work they put into preparing the students and for the wonderful celebrations over the two nights. A very special thank you to Bishop Tony Ireland for visiting the Yr 6 students last week and for him confirming our students. It was so lovely to have Confirmation in our school church and with a Bishop as the main celebrant.
