Confirmation Parish Preparation
A reminder that there will be two Confirmation practices in the church during school hours. It is crucial that all Confirmation candidates are present for both of these practices (parents are not expected to attend). As the practices are first thing in the morning, we also ask that families are mindful of arriving to school on time.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Class Parish Mass
Thank you to all the families from a number of classes who assisted at the parish Mass on Sunday. It was wonderful to see the children lead the welcome, readings, offertory and sing in the choir.
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Thank you to Year 3/4 for leading our school community in celebrating the
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was a wonderful opportunity for our community to reflect on the motherly qualities
of Mary as the mother of Jesus and how we know and experience her ever guiding presence. Thank you also to our school choir for creating a vibrant energy for all to participate in.
Father’s Day Mass
Kindergarten will be leading our school community in a special Father’s Day Mass 6th September. In preparation for this Mass, families are invited to share photographs of their fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers, uncles or any father figures, to be shown in a PowerPoint reflection. Please email all photos to Fran Tomadini: franca.tomadini@cg.catholic.edu.au
Community Meals Program
The Community Meals freezer is one way we can assist families who are experiencing hardship. If you are able to cook a meal, please use disposable containers and label with ingredients and date. All meal donations can be brought to the Front Office. If your family requires temporary meal assistance, you can speak in confidence to any of our staff members.
