Anzac Day Dawn Service - Port Kembla
On Friday, 25 April, we paused to honour the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. We were incredibly proud of Mia, Isaac, Jasmin and Oliver, who represented our school so beautifully at the Dapto-Port Kembla RSL Sub-Branch Dawn Service, laying a wreath on behalf of our school community and offering the prayer of thanksgiving. Thank you also to our staff and families who attended and supported this special commemoration.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.
Lest We Forget.
Anzac Day at St Francis of Assisi
Last Friday, our Year 6 students led our school assembly to commemorate ANZAC Day. They shared a heartfelt reflection and prayer, honouring the incredible service and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand men and women who fought for our freedoms. Taking on leadership roles comes with responsibility and dedication, and Year 6 certainly rose to the occasion — not only at this assembly but also later in the day at the Wollongong Schools Assembly. Well done for representing our school with such pride and respect. Thank you to all our students for their thoughtful participation and the respect shown throughout the assembly.
Winter School Uniform - Changeover
Thank you to parents and carers who continue to support the expectations within our school uniform policy. Our school uniform is an integral part of our identity as a school and each student's sense of belonging. Students will change over to their Winter uniform on Monday 12 May (Next week after the Mother's Day weekend). We encourage parents and carers to support their children during this transition by ensuring they have the appropriate winter uniform items ready. Additionally, please take this opportunity to review the uniform guidelines outlined on our school website to ensure compliance with our uniform policy. Thank you.
