Thank you

I was so grateful to all who the made the working bee and disco such a great success. The community that was built around these events was terrific. It was a sign that life is returning to normal.

We built a border around the sand pit, tidied up the parking area, cleaned up a lot of leaves and debris and fixed up our garbage area. Thanks for all brought along special equipment to help with these jobs. The disco was also a big hit and well supported & run by parents and staff.

Registration

As you read this, our three day visit from the Catholic Education Office team will be complete. We look forward to their feedback and endorsement of decisions to continue our journey of improvement at the school.

Principals Retreat

I spent last week at the Principals Retreat. I am very priviledged to be allowed to have some time away to reflect on my role as a leader of a Catholic School. We reflected on the story of Zaccheus, the gospel story about how Jesus notices the tax collector in a tree trying to get a glimpse of him. He calls him by name and says he will visit him at his house that day. From that moment Zaccheus changed his life and gave back the extra money he had taken from people. This is another example of Jesus recognizing a sinner and make him feel welcome. We were asked to think about how we cannot always see those hanging out on the fringes. We can make a difference by a simple hello and making them feel welcome. The challenge is to be truly "present" to everyone and notice all people, not just those who make the most noise.
