On Tuesday 5th May, 44 students got up bright and early to attend the Diocesan Cross Country carnival at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek. It was a long day, but thanks to the beautiful weather and excellent behaviour by all students it was also a lovely day.
All students performed to the best of their ability and did themselves and their parents very proud. 3 students ran so well that they placed in the top 8 in their age group and now get to run all over again on 12th June at the Inter-Diocesan carnival.
Kiara De Angelis placed 6th in the 10 yr girls Isaac Elias also placed 6th in the 11 yr boys and Trisha Castelino placed 2nd in the 11 yr girls. A huge congratulations to those fantastic long distance runners! We wish you all the very best for this next level of competition.
Thank you to Mrs Galea and Mrs Maunder for coming to help out on the day and congratulations once again to all our competitors for the sportsmanship you displayed both on and off the track.

On Friday, we joyfully celebrated Mother’s Day with a beautiful liturgy, followed by a picnic shared among mothers and their children. It was a special time of prayer, fellowship, and gratitude for the gift of motherhood. As mothers, we are inspired by the example of The Virgin Mary — a model of faith, love, humility, and unwavering devotion. Through her gentle strength and trust in God, Mary reminds us of the sacred vocation of motherhood and the powerful role mothers play in nurturing their families with compassion and grace. We hope all mothers had a wonderful and blessed Mother’s Day yesterday, surrounded by love, joy, and appreciation for all that they do each day.

Today in our Little Disciples lunchtime group, we spoke about how God is always with us and takes away our worries when we place our trust in Him. Students made paper boats, wrote their worries on them, and placed them into the water to sail away as a reminder that we can give all our fears and worries to God. ⛵ “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7
