Term 1 Week 10 2025

Kindergarten 2026 Information and Open Night!

Our current students were absolute stars, warmly welcoming our guests and proudly showcasing some of the engaging activities they participate in, ranging from literacy and numeracy to demonstrating their skills in STEM, along with some impressive guitar-playing performances!

We extend a special thank you to our dedicated Leadership Team for their informative presentations and to all our incredible staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the night was a success – from setting up engaging displays and preparing food, to providing a welcoming babysitting service. 

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, we have already received a significant number of enrolment applications for Kindergarten in 2026. To avoid disappointment, we strongly encourage all new and existing families to submit their enrolment applications as soon as possible.

Please note that the closing date for first-round enrolments is Monday, 28th April. Kindergarten enrolment interviews will commence in Week 8 of Term 2 for existing families and in Week 1 of Term 3 for new families.

 If you have any questions regarding the enrolment process, please don't hesitate to contact the school office.

Reflecting on the Stations of the Cross

A special thank you to Mrs. Toole, Ms. Peck and our wonderful Year 5&6 students for their powerful and moving reenactment of the Stations of the Cross. Their thoughtful portrayal of this significant story provided a profound and meaningful experience for our entire school community, allowing us to reflect deeply on the important values of compassion, sacrifice, and hope.

As we look forward to returning to school, we eagerly anticipate celebrating the joyous resurrection of Jesus, the light of the world.

Easter Raffle a Cracking Success!

A massive thank you to our wonderful Easter Raffle fundraising committee and team behind the scenes– Erin Elliot, Nicole Qadir, Katie Oberg and Meegan Kelly – for their incredible organisation and hard work in making this year's raffle such a fantastic success! The event brought smiles to countless faces, and we are so grateful for their dedication. Thank you also to our Easter Bunny, Jack Elliott, who delighted the students as he bounced through the hall.

We also extend a special acknowledgement to all our generous families who donated Easter eggs and to everyone who supported the raffle by purchasing tickets. The committee did an outstanding job preparing approximately 70 amazing raffle prizes and ensuring that every child left the hall with an Easter egg in hand.

 Over $1500 was raised and these funds will go towards some playground upgrades and additions. Congratulations to all the lucky prize winners! If you were not present on the day, please note that you have been contacted regarding the collection of your prize.

Thank you again to everyone involved in making the Easter Raffle a memorable and successful fundraising event for our school!

Project Compassion Day

Last Friday, our Mission Leaders ran their major fundraiser for Project Compassion. Students walked (in total) more than 50km, transporting 700L of water from one end of the playground to the other.

Students learned how important infrastructure, such as water tanks, is to communities and schools. This term, our student leaders raised over $500. All money raised goes towards Caritas, who help communities around the world. Well done, students!!

A special thanks to Mr Galvin and some of our year 6 students who got sprayed to raise extra funds.

ANZAC DAY

This year, ANZAC Day falls in the second week of school holidays. Thank you to all the families who have indicated that their child will be marching in the Parade on Thursday, 25th April. Our veterans appreciate that our students and their families attend and that our school is always very well-represented. Please let us know if your child will be marching via Compass events. We will have a ANZAC liturgy on Wednesday, 30th April at 10:30pm in the school hall. All are welcome.
