Father’s Day Celebrations
Today, our school community came together to celebrate Father's Day, honouring the wonderful fathers and father figures who enrich our lives. We kicked off the celebration with a delicious breakfast, serving bacon and egg rolls. Following the breakfast, the Year 4 students led us in a beautiful Liturgy, organised by Mr. Marshall.
A special thank you goes out to the Father's Day School Community Group Committee, who worked tirelessly to organise the Father's Day Raffle and the Krispy Kreme Drive.
As we reflect on today's events, we are reminded of the strength and love that fathers bring into our lives and the lives of our children. Wishing all our fathers, grandfathers, and father figures a very Happy Father's Day.
Celebrating a New Addition to Mrs Dedal’s Family!
We are thrilled to share that our much-loved Kindergarten teacher, Carlie Dedal and her husband, Brendan, is expecting a baby! Please join us in congratulating them on this wonderful news. We look forward to welcoming the newest member of their family. Let's extend our warmest wishes to Carlie and Brendan during this exciting time.
Confirmation
On Monday we hosted our Confirmation Reflection Night. This year we have 14 students making their Sacrament of Confirmation. We will welcome Bishop Homeming on Monday 16th September.
Please pray for the children making this special Sacrament.
2024 Creative Arts Showcase
Only a couple of weeks to go until Showcase week! Please look out for a Compass notification shortly that will detail all the requirements for your child during show week including costume pieces to be brought for home, food requirements and staying back at school on Thursday 19th September. We would like all families to ‘consent’ to this event so that we know you are clear on all the information. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
Make sure you have purchased tickets to see the show. We rely on the support of our families, friends and extended school community to make a fantastic audience for our students and to help cover the costs to produce the show for our students. Please book in via Flexischools or directly from the front office.
Best wishes from the leadership team
