From the Principal

Welcome back to Term 2. It has been a busy and energetic start to the term, with classrooms full of eager learners and a calendar already brimming with activities. 

After enjoying weeks of beautiful autumn weather, we were met with steady rain on the day of our Cross Country. Despite the downpour, our students showed incredible resilience, especially our younger participants who ran in the heaviest of the rain. Unfortunately, our Kindergarten students were unable to complete their event when the rain became torrential. However, they will have their own special Cross Country next Thursday, and parents are very welcome to come along and cheer them on.

This week we also celebrate our school’s Feast Day, honouring our patron saint, St Peter Chanel. This is a lovely opportunity to come together as a school community, reflect on the values we share, and enjoy a meal together. 

As we look to this weekend, we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day—a chance to honour the mothers, grandmothers, and all those who take on the role of mothering in our lives. Their love, support, and presence shape our families and our children. We also take time to remember, with love, the mothers and grandmothers who are no longer with us. Having recently lost my own mother, I am deeply aware of the space this absence leaves, but with cherished memories that live on. To all mothers, grandmothers and mother figures in our community, I wish you a love-filled day on Sunday, surrounded by those who hold you dear.
