Dear SCC Students, families and friends,

As the 2024 school year comes to an end, I wanted to make contact with you all before I left St Columbkille's School and Parish.

I hope you all know I will leave with a heart full of happy memories of the last six years at our school. Staff, students and families have given me many special memories which I will carry with me for a long time.

For those of you, whose children I had the privilege to teach and educate, thank you for entrusting your child's education in my care and for your continued support during that time.

The 2025 year will be challenging and exciting as I move to Secondary Education in the western region of NSW but one which I am looking forward to. I humbly ask you to keep my family and I in your prayers. And if you and your families visit the Dubbo area, please make contact...I know a good "tourist guide" out there who can share some great places to visit!

To you all, I wish you Christ's love during the coming Christmas Season. May this time of celebration bring you, and your loved ones, much joy. And may you always know the peace that our Saviour brings.

God bless,
Rita Finlay-Joseph
