Thank you! 

Book Week and Grandparents Day 2019

Wow! Thank you for the parents, grandparents, great people and families who came to support and be a part of our Book Week and Grandparents day celebrations for 2019. Your participation and support of our school is very much appreciated. It was so wonderful to see our school community gathered together in such a positive way. As Belinda said, “The day was a day filled with an immense amount of love”. As a Catholic school community this is what we strive for - to be a community centered around faith and learning. 

Thank you to those who helped out by bringing items in for our morning tea! We had so many goodies. We very much appreciate those parents who came to set up, serve and clean up during our morning tea! Your assistance and commitment to making our day a success doesn’t go unnoticed. 

Thank you to Mrs Cecilia Medina for organising our book fair in the library as well as our prizes for our ‘Reading is my Secret Power’ competition. We thank everyone who purchased a book at our book fair - we value your generosity. 

What a wonderful day!
