Principal

Last Wednesday we celebrated, as a community of faith, the Feast day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop with a beautiful mass. Our thanks to Father Abmar and Sister Margaret Cusack for joining in the celebration with us. As Sister Margaret said in her introduction, as an Australian Mary MacKillop traversed the many paths of the Wallaby Track and was only too aware of what life was like for people in the country. People of the bush confronted "flood and fire and famine" and Mary supported them in their endeavours to overcome their hardships.

At this time of drought which is affecting so many in our community the school and The Catholic Schools Office are aware that some families may be suffering hardship. Families whose income has been affected by the current drought are asked to contact the Principal to discuss any assistance that the school may be able to offer.

Annual School Satisfaction Survey

Annual School Satisfaction surveys of parents, students and staff are being conducted on behalf of all Catholic schools in the diocese this term. The surveys are designed to gather feedback from parents, staff and students about their school and will be used to inform school improvement. Responses are confidential and individuals can not be identified.  The surveys were launched via email on August 6 and will close on August 16, 2018 using the email addresses supplied to the school.

If you did not receive an email with a link to the survey on August 6, please check spam folders or contact the school office to have access sent to you.
