Welcome back to Term 4 - what a journey we have had. During remote learning and lockdown, I hope we remember how important our faith is in these uncertain times. Please continue to pray because no matter how difficult we find these times, others may be faced with greater challenges. God bless you all as we prepare to return to a community of Faith and Learning.

St Francis of Assisi Feast Day
Thank you to everyone for celebrating our feast day in different circumstances this year. I would particularly like to thank all those who participated in the liturgy. We have had a few liturgies while we have been in lockdown, and with your support, we have been able to pray together in a truly meaningful way through these liturgies.

Socktober for Mission Month 2021 - Mission Sunday is 24th October

Socktober is, first and foremost, a means through which schools and students can celebrate World Mission Month in October. Catholic Mission encourages us to engage with our mind, heart, and hands. This entail three elements: 
  • Listen - to the 'note of greatest need' in our neighbouring community of Thailand; 

  • Pray - for God to give our neighbours strength to prevail and ourselves the strength to respond 

  • Act - on the lack of resources in this community to enable them to continue to live with the dignity they deserve.

When students return to school, we will acknowledge Mission Month with a  fundraising activity. Students will also be exploring this year's theme in their Religious Education lessons.
