Principal

As we come to the end of a very busy term I want to take this opportunity to wish all families a happy and holy Easter and to thank all of our staff for their tireless efforts in making the start of the school year so successful.

Staff Development Day - Monday 29th April

Please be advised that Monday 29th April will be a Staff Development Day. Term 2 lessons will formally commence on Tuesday 30th April. Like all professions, ongoing professional learning is an important element of our School, as is the faith formation of our staff.

Holy Week/Easter

As a Catholic Community, this week we are entering a very significant time in our liturgical calendar, Holy Week. Holy Week is the week before Easter Sunday.  It commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, followed by his passion. Holy week begins with Palm Sunday and includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Saturday and culminating on Easter Sunday.  Easter Sunday is the most important day in our Catholic faith. All of this is done by our Lord for forgiveness of our sins, and for life everlasting with Him. God so loved us, that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us, so that our sins may be forgiven.

Holy Week Schedule
