St Columba Day

St Columba Day is very important to St. Columbkilles because our school was named in his honour. We had a great day with rides, ball games, a jumping castle, and a sausage sizzle.

We started our day with a Liturgy, and 14 students were given the St.Columbkille's award for displaying the core values; respect, responsibility, safety, community, celebration and faith. Then we all played different activities but the best thing was probably the Zoomer - you sit in a swing like chair and it will spin around slowly lifting off the ground and gradually getting faster.  

Thank you to everyone who helped out. We couldn't have had such a great day without your help. A special thanks to the the P&F and parents who helped with the delicious sausage sizzle.  

WOOHOO! St. Columba Day was SO much fun!

Year 6 Busking Day

On Monday 1 June, there was a Busking Day were Year 6 held stalls including, nerf gun battles, science experiments, lucky duck, cookie decorating and a hairspray booth. Everyone brought in some money and together we raised $949.25. The money will go towards Year 6 Graduation.  A great effort.  In saying that, 'Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness But It Buys Sugar Which is the Same Thing'.

Year 6 Confirmation

In the month of June,  Year 6 recieved the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is a continual journey of faith and sees the candidates seal their Baptismal graces with the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is all inspiring and draws us closer to Christ giving us the courage to spread the Gospel mission. 

During the service the candidates were able to meet Bishop Brian Mascord and have a chat with him about Confirmation and its important meaning. Each candidate received a special blessing by the Bishop as they announced their beliefs in front of their sponsors & other church community members. 

One particular candidate who had already received & Confirmed into the Macedonian Orthodox Church community at Baptism, was still able to celebrate; share their common belief & acknowledge the Holy Spirit within. This provided Bishop Brian Mascord the opportunity to explain to the congregation the need for this to be celebrated. As the Holy Spirit unites us all in God's love.
