Back in Action and Bursting with Colour!

Fri, May 9th, 2025

Welcome back to Term 2! It’s been a fantastic start to the term, and we’re already seeing many of our Year 6 students stepping up as mature role models within our school community. Their leadership and positive attitude have truly set the tone for a great term ahead.

One of the highlights of the week was definitely the Colour Run, it was such a joy to see the students laughing, running, and having an absolute blast together! We also celebrated Founders Day, and it was wonderful to see our students engaging with different peers across the school, embracing the spirit of community and connection.

A big thank you to all the families who joined us for the Mother’s Day Breakfast. Your presence made the morning extra special and helped us celebrate the wonderful women in our students' lives.

We’re looking forward to another term filled with learning, leadership, and lots of fun!

As we move into the next week of Term 2, our Year 6 students are continuing to engage deeply with the novel Rabbit, Soldier, Angel, Thief. This powerful story offers important insights into life during wartime, and we encourage families to have meaningful conversations at home about the themes of resilience, gratitude, and perspective. It's a timely reminder of how fortunate we are to live in peace and have access to the opportunities and comforts we often take for granted.

Please take a moment to check the parental resources for details on upcoming events and important dates. We’re looking forward to another week of meaningful learning and community connection.

We have an upcoming Catholic retreat day called GLOW, which is a compulsory event for all Year 6 students and a special part of their spiritual journey this year. Please accept this event on compass.
