Dear Families
Last weekend we held our Presentation masses for the upcoming Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Families show their commitment to their child’s faith by presenting their child to the congregation. The children also hand out prayer cards to parishioners asking them to pray for them during this significant time and wear a blue or purple ribbon showing that they are preparing for a Sacrament. May all of us keep these children in our prayers
Book week - ‘Reading is Magic’
Get ready book week is fast approaching - yippy! Our Book Week parade will take place at 9am on Friday 23rd August. Students can come to school dressed up in line with this year’s book week theme ‘Reading is Magic’ or as their favourite book character.
