Week 9, Term 2, 2018

Prayer Reflection

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Now that our Year 6's have received the Sacrament of Confirmation, we are preparing for our Year 3's to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This will take place during Week 3 next term.

Bishop Peter Elliott is our Parish Administrator and welcomes you to contact him at anytime on

First Aid Incursion

St John Ambulance will visit our school on Monday 18th June to deliver free First Aid in Schools training 

to our students.  Through the First Aid in Schools program, trained St John presenters lead students from​Grade 3 and 4 through tailored sessions on the importance of First Aid and what to do in the event of an emergency.  Our junior students learn about how to identify when there is an emergency, keeping themselves safe, and how to call for an ambulance.  Senior students learn about delivering CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and the things they can do to assist in an emergency.
