On Monday, 27 April, staff and students, together with Fr Paul and parents, commemorated the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli with a special liturgy. During this service we all stopped to remember those who fought for freedom, rights and peace in our nation.
To mark this special event we unveiled a special plaque in memory of all those who valiantly paid the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives so that we may live in peace. This plaque is set amongst 28 rosemary bushes, each representing one of the classes in our school.
The inscription on the plaque includes a quote from John's Gospel (15:13):
No greater love is there than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.
On the day children each wore the name of an original ANZAC and a cross with the name of each ANZAC was placed on our hill.

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick. As a missionary and bishop, Saint Patrick dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of Ireland. His courage, faith, and trust in God remind us that even one person, guided by the Holy Spirit, can help bring light and hope to many. May we be inspired by Saint Patrick’s example to live our faith with joy, kindness, and courage in our own community. “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me.” Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all in our school community. ☘️

We would like to sincerely thank our wonderful FIAT team for their generosity in creating and donating the beautiful Easter baskets that will be raffled off next week. During Lent, we are reminded to reflect on the needs of others, especially those who are less fortunate. Easter is a time of hope, renewal, and generosity, and these baskets are a lovely reminder of the spirit of giving that this season calls us to embrace. Your kindness and willingness to contribute reflect the true meaning of Lent—thinking of others, sharing what we have, and spreading joy within our community. #faithinactioncspd
