Year 6 Graduation
Last Tuesday night, we farewelled our Year 6 students with a special Graduation Mass, followed by a wonderful celebration in the hall. This is always a meaningful time for our Year 6 students, their families, and our school and parish communities. Thank you to Father Damien, Deacons Mick and Lawrie, and the sisters for celebrating Mass with us; to our staff for all their hard work in preparing for the evening; and to the parish leadership and hospitality team for serving dinner. We are truly blessed by the partnership we share with our parish. Year 6, as you leave our school, know that you are equipped not just with knowledge, but with faith and a strong foundation. You are ready to shine brightly and embrace the future with confidence. Congratulations! We are immensely proud of you and excited for the journey ahead. May you be stewards of hope! God bless you and guide you always.  Congratulations to those students who received awards:

On Wednesday the school community farewelled our Year 6 students after seven years of primary education at St Francis of Assisi. Staff, students, and Year 6 parents will form a farewell guard of honour. We congratulate our Year 6 students on this milestone and wish them all the best for the future.

Year 6 Fun Day
Our Year 6 students had a wonderful fun day at Port Kembla pool last week, celebrating their end of primary school.

Leaving Families
One of the most beautiful aspects of St Francis of Assisi is the close-knit community we have. It is always sad to see some of our wonderful families leave the place in which they have spent a large amount of time. We would like to thank the following leaving families for entrusting their children with us and for their ongoing support of our school community. We wish you all the very best in your future adventures.
