Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Hope that you are well and that you have enjoyed a wonderful Week 9 and 10.

As we move into the Term 3 holiday break, a sincerely 'Thank You' for what has been an amazing term full of learning, challenges and celebrations. We have enjoyed numerous  excursions, activities and events from Kindergarten to Year 6. We should be extremely proud of our school community and our collective work for the students in our care. Each day, we endeavour to live out our Vision - Learning together , Shaping futures through the lens of our Core Values - Faith, Learning, Respect, Responsibility, Community and Celebration.

Last Wednesday Mrs Herring, Vice Captains - Alissa Bishop, Dominik Raschilla and I attended the Catholic Mission Launch at Holy Spirit College. This years Catholic Mission theme is "Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move." The Bishop led a prayerful service and we listened to Mr Mark Raue the Diocesan Director of Catholic Mission speak about the importance of prayer and giving to these people in need. In Term 4 our Mini Vinnies will lead us in activities and initiatives to help support Catholic Mission.
