Dear families,
We are fast approaching the end of the first term for 2025. I am immensely proud of the students for their efforts in learning and I am very grateful for the outstanding work of our teachers, support staff and admin team as they strive to ensure children and families have the best possible school experience.
Celebrating Reconciliation
A heartfelt congratulations to our Year 4 students who recently celebrated the sacrament of reconciliation. This important milestone reflects their spiritual journey and growth, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication. A sincere thank you to Angela De Nadai for her unwavering support and outstanding work in preparing both our students and their families for this sacred occasion.
Parent-Teacher Interviews This Week
This week brings a valuable opportunity for parents and teachers to come together and discuss student progress and wellbeing. These interviews are an essential part of ensuring the best outcomes for our students, and we deeply appreciate the commitment and dedication of our teaching staff. Their preparation and time spent conducting these interviews demonstrate their devotion to fostering each student's growth and success.

Gather Round Football Competition
The Gather Round football competition has kicked off on Monday nights, and it's a fantastic opportunity for our older students to represent the school. Under the skilled coaching of James Daley, we're confident our teams will make us proud. Let’s cheer them on as they show off their talent, sportsmanship, and school spirit.
Harmony Day Success
Last Friday, our school celebrated Harmony Day, a wonderful event that highlighted the beauty of our nation's cultural diversity. The students engaged in meaningful activities and gained a deeper insight into the importance of inclusion and unity. It was truly inspiring to see their enthusiasm and understanding grow through this celebration.
Caritas Long Walk for Water
On Friday, we embraced the Caritas Long Walk for Water, standing in solidarity with vulnerable communities who struggle to access clean drinking water. This event is part of our Lenten commitment to Project Compassion and our mission as a Franciscan school to promote social justice. It was an enriching experience for all involved, demonstrating the power of compassion and action in creating a better world.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement with our school community. Let's keep striving to make 2025 a year full of growth, learning, and positive change.
God bless,
Phil Schultz
