School News

Swimming Carnival

On Tuesday, students from Prep to Year 8 had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities during the carnival. From novelty races and water fights at the Early Years Carnival to 22 and 50 metre races at the Primary Carnival in preparation for the interschool events later in term 1. Swimmers of all abilities enjoyed a fun day at the pool. Thank you to our staff who made this event happen, and thank you to our parent help for your support!

Caritas visit

Our Year 9/10 Business and Economics class were fortunate to have a visit from Mrs Leanne Prichard from the CET Catholic Identity and Evangelisation Team to introduce them to the theme of Project Compassion 2025 last week. This year's theme is Unite Against Poverty this Lent. Students explored the work that Caritas Australia does to help those in need through interactive activities, discussion and through exploration of resources Leanne provided.

Pancake Day 

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the traditional day before Lent begins. It’s a time for reflection, sharing, and of course, enjoying delicious pancakes—a tradition that dates back centuries!
In Kinder, we embraced this special day through cooking, counting, and sensory play with pancakes. A fun and engaging way to learn about traditions while developing important skills!
