Dear families, What wonderful weather we have been blessed with this week. Last weekend, we commenced our Sacramental program with several children in Year 3/4 receiving the Sacrament of Penance.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our mothers and special ladies in the lives of our children, a very Happy Mother's Day. We hope you have a relaxing day and are well looked after by the boys in your home.
Our next Walk/Ride to School Day will be held on Friday 14th May. Although the weather is getting cooler it would be wonderful to see as many students & their families coming to school in an active way as possible.

How can we find a greater sense of purpose and meaning? Being part of something bigger than ourselves - and focusing on the things we value - is vital for our wellbeing. So let's take time to reflect on what we care about this month and prioritise the things that matter.
