Dear Parents and Carers

Our Catholic schools Week Liturgy was a lovely celebration of our school with the theme Pilgrims of Hope. It was lovely to have children and parents share their own hopes during and after the liturgy.  With so many busy things happening we appreciated those who were able to visit their child’s classroom after the liturgy.  Catholic Schools Week is a time to honour the vibrant communities within our Catholic schools in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle. This week highlights the dedication of staff, the growth of students, and the shared mission to nurture each child spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically. Catholic education is about helping every student flourish and become the person God calls them to be, through learning that inspires both the heart and mind.

On Friday we had a fantastic day at our annual athletics carnival. The weather was perfect- no rain! It was wonderful to see such great school spirit and smiles on everyone’s face. The support and encouragement our students gave each other was beautiful to witness. Watching our Kinders in their first races, cheering them on as they crossed the finish line in their first ever school athletics race, is always a highlight. I am very proud of each and every one of our students.

A huge thank you to Mrs Bryant for an exceptionally well organised carnival. A great deal of time and effort goes into these days to ensure its smooth running. Thank you to our parent volunteers for your time and assistance and many thanks to the staff for their tireless work leading up to, during and after the carnival. 

Enjoy your extra long long weekend!
