Committed to our mission as a Catholic school community, our staff gathered together for their annual formation day on Monday. Particularly given the Conventual Franciscan charism of our parish community, and that 2026 marks 800 years since the death of St Francis of Assisi, the focus of our day was on "walking the jubilee path with St Francis". The day provided us with the opportunity to learn and reflect on St Francis, how he lived the Gospel of Jesus, and how we can draw on his example.

We were very fortunate last term to be able to start using our newest pieces of playground equipment. Dare we say that the new table tennis tables are... a big hit?! 🏓 This fantastic new play option for our children would not be possible within the support of our parents and carers, as well as the NSW Government, who supported this project through their Community Building Partnerships grant scheme.
