Congratulations to Lacey, Mackenzie and Poppy on their Baptism, and to Scarlett and Maddie on receiving their First Holy Communion during our school Mass today. It was a fantastic celebration of faith, and we hope the lead-up and the experience have been a special and memorable time for each of their families. Thank you for sharing this important moment with our school community. I would also like to acknowledge Mrs Dumbrell and the time and energy that went into preparing these students for the Sacraments.
Mother’s Day BreakfastA heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful mums and special women who joined us for our Mother’s Day breakfast last Friday. It was a lovely morning of smiles, food, and community. We look forward to hosting our families again next year for another special celebration.
Athletics Carnival
A reminder that our Athletics Carnival will be held next Friday, 23rd May. Families are invited to come along and cheer on our students!
Students should wear their sport uniform and will walk down to the oval after morning assembly. We anticipate finishing before lunch. If you're able to assist with timekeeping or recording, please contact myself or the front office—your help is greatly appreciated.
Please note that field events such as high jump and long jump will be completed during school hours in the lead-up to the carnival. In the event of inclement weather, any updates will be communicated via Compass.
Winter Uniform Reminder

We had a wonderful celebration today at our school Mass. Scarlett, Maddison, Mackenzie, Lacey and Poppy all celebrated receiving Sacraments. I would like to thank all of the families for joining in this celebration, and also Father Joe for making this such a special Mass for all of these girls.
Last Friday morning we awoke to the news that the white smoke had risen out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, signalling that the Cardinals had voted and that a new Pope had been chosen. We are delighted to acknowledge the appointment of Pope Leo XIV to lead our Church.
When Pope Leo XIV appeared on the balcony, his first words, "Peace be with you," echoed the greeting of the Risen Lord. It is a reminder that the Pope's primary mission, like St. Peter and his successors, is to proclaim the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His smile and serene presence have already touched hearts, offering the world a message of hope and renewal. The American-born Pope Leo XIV's motto, as a bishop, "In the One, one", beautifully reflects his call to unify. From the people of Rome to his Peruvian diocese and beyond, his opening address spoke of peace, walking together, and God's unfailing mercy and love. His focus on unity and his commitment to the themes of synodality show a desire to bring collective harmony to a diverse, global Church.
I would like to conclude with a prayer for our new Pope.
Prayer for the Pope
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend
