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.

All Saints Day – Saturday, 1st November On Saturday, 1st November, we celebrate All Saints Day — a special feast that honours all the saints, known and unknown, who have lived lives of holiness and love. It reminds us that sainthood is not only for a few extraordinary people, but for all who strive to live faithfully in their everyday lives — the “saints next door” who bring God’s love to others through kindness, compassion, and service. As members of the Communion of Saints, we are united with all those who have gone before us in faith. We also look to Our Lady, the first and greatest of all saints, as our model of faith, peace, and discipleship. May her example inspire us to live with courage and grace as we continue to grow in holiness. “Let us remember: holiness is not a privilege for the few, but a call for everyone.” – Pope Francis
