Thank you to everyone who put their faith into action and donated to our annual Christmas Appeal. Thanks to your generosity, our dedicated Faith in Action Team (FIAT) were able to pack dozens of boxes and bags to support people in need. The boxes were collected on Monday by Vinnies, and we look forward to welcoming Sue from David's Place, who will take the bags of food to ensure the David's Place community enjoy a special Christmas lunch. Our Christmas Appeal is one of the many ways that we try to live in way of Jesus through our Founding Values of dignity, compassion, hospitality, service, stewardship and justice. Thank you also to Miss Takchi and Mrs Rodrigues for your support of FIAT throughout 2025.

Our Gymnastics team had a fantastic day last Friday at the Diocesan gala day. Competing in the 20's category (teams of more than 10), we came third, taking away 3 gold medals (congratulations Molly, Natalia and Yorklyn), 11 silver and 3 bronze. They spent the whole day cheering each other, and other schools on as they showcased their skills. You could hear them clapping from the grandstands every time!! They showed fantastic sporting attitude and positively represented the school. Congratulations to our whole team, and thank you to everyone who supported our gymnasts.
