Dear Parents and Carers

Next week marks Catholic Schools Week, a time that recognises and celebrates the distinctive qualities of Catholic education. We celebrate and give thanks for our Catholic schools which strive to foster communities of faith, respect, inclusivity, love and a commitment to excellence in education. We look forward to our school celebration with a liturgy on Monday morning.

This year’s theme is Pilgrims of Hope to coincide with the Jubilee Year of Hope in 2025. The goal of a Jubilee year is to inspire and encourage holiness of life among the faithful and therefore to strengthen the Church’s witness to God’s loving mercy in and for the world.   

Next week we also have our school athletics carnival. Many thanks to all those who have volunteered to assist but especially to Therese Bryant for her organisation of the day. Carnivals are a big task to organise on top of classroom teaching responsibilities and we couldn’t have them without the dedication of teachers like Therese.

We’ve had such a run of rainy weather! Thank you for your understanding with the closure of the Field Dismissal Gate. We’ve also had to postpone a number of events.  Hopefully we’re in for a run of sunshine so that we can get back to normal operations.
