Welcome Back to School for 2023.
Just a reminder that Tuesday 14th February is a Pupil Free Day 
OOSH is available if you are registered on this day. 

Dear Parents/Carers,

A very warm welcome to all of our families. Today we welcomed back students in Years 1-6, and we look forward to welcoming our Kindergarten students back on Monday.

This year we welcome three new members to our teaching staff: Mrs Lauren Murray (Year 1), Mrs Rachael Miller (Year 6) and Ms Lauren Clarke (Year 4). We also welcome a new assistant Priest, Father Jomer Calma and a Deacon, Deacon Michael Perry, to our Parish. We look forward to working with Father Jomer and Deacon Michael. Father Jomer will celebrate our Opening School Mass on Friday 10th February at 9.30am in our Church. At this Mass our 2023 school leaders will be introduced and receive their leader badges.
