On Wednesday we FINALLY got to have our annual Athletics Carnival. It was windy and cold but at least the rain kept away!
The day was a success with everyone having a good time. The sportsmanship, support and encouragement on display by the students is to be commended.
Our Sports Captains did a fine job motivating their colour houses and helping me set up in the morning … so a big “Thank you” to them and their parents for dropping them off early on Wednesday.
To the parent helpers who volunteered prior to the carnival and then on the day … a very big THANK YOU! Without your help and support the day would not have run as smoothly as it did. I really appreciate you giving up the chance to simply watch the carnival and get in and assist us – it is all for the children after all.
The results of the carnival are as follows: Winning Colour House- Lawson

Pentecost Sunday will be celebrated this Sunday (May 24, 2026). This major Catholic holiday is celebrated exactly 50 days after Easter Sunday. It is the day the Church celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the first disciples gathered in Jerusalem. It is the moment when the fearful followers of Jesus were strengthened to proclaim the gospel boldly to the world.

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
