This week we have been focussing on the Catholic value of, “Hope.” At Monday

morning's assembly, we discussed the importance of having a positive and resilient approach to life and embracing the future with an absolute faith in our God. The students were challenged to reflect on ways that they can demonstrate Hope in their hearts, in their school with their friends and at home with their family. 

First Holy Communion

Tonight, 13 June, the students who are receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion will have their second communion workshop with Father Paul at 6pm in the parish hall. The 3rd workshop will be Thursday evening, 27 June, 6pm. We will also be having a First Holy Communion retreat day in the Parish hall on 28 June. (More information to follow at the information night). 

Please keep these students in your prayers as they prepare for this special Sacrament. I echo Fr. Paul’s words when I strongly encourage all students who are receiving this important sacrament to attend our Parish Mass on Sunday at 8:30am, especially in these remaining weeks of preparation for First Holy Communion. It is an essential and integral part of your child’s preparation. 

First Holy Communion Mass will be on Sunday 30 June, 10.00am

Pyjama Day (Week 10)

On 4 July (last day of term), all students are invited to participate in the Pyjama Day by wearing their warm winter pyjamas to school and making a gold coin donation. The funds raised will be donated to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal to assist needy families in our local community this winter. More information regarding this fundraiser organised by the Mini Vinnies team will be sent via Compass. 

In preparation for our Mufti Day, Paul Morahan came to meet with our Mini Vinnies today to explain how their work to promote the day will help those in our community in need. The Mini Vinnies are very excited to be planning this special event for our school and also understanding how their work supports those in need this winter. 

Our Pyjama Day will also coincide with our NAIDOC WEEK Activity Day. Students can wear red, yellow or black PJ’s…. Or just simply add a touch of red, yellow or black to their PJs with a hat, socks, scarf, ribbons or beanie!

Grade Masses

We have our final grade Mass for this Term for Years 1 and 6 on Thursday 20 June at 9am. As always, you are most welcome to join us at this Parish Mass. 

In Peace,
