May Ball 2025

We celebrated our annual Marian Liturgy and May Ball – a beautiful tradition that has brought our school community together for over 80 years.
The evening began with the presentation of our Kindergarten and Year 10 students, followed by a moving Marian Liturgy and the Crowning of Mary by our College Captains, Jessica Drysdale and Heidi Turnbull.
Students from Kinder to Year 10 lit up the stage with their dance performances! A huge thank you to Claire Dawson, our amazing dance coordinator, and to everyone who helped make the night so special.
You’ll be able to see more photos from the evening in our next newsletter.

Due to a lack of use we are going to sell our commercial Cobra 6burner stove with gas oven. Both stove and oven have barely been used since being installed about 8 years ago and are in nearly new condition; the appliance has been professionally checked recently and is in excellent working order.
The price for the unit is negotiable around the AU$ 2000range.
If you know someone who might be interested in these appliances please encourage them to get in touch with our school office!
