Harmony Awards
Each week we look forward to celebrating students’ achievements with our Harmony Awards. When choosing students, teachers reflect on our school values. The values are explicitly taught and reinforced in classes. In weeks one and two of each term we focus on our learning values; Collaborate, Persevere, Explore, Question and Create. In weeks three and four we focus on our living values; the 5 Bs. In the second half of term we focus on the values of The Resilience Project; Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. All these values work together to help break open our mission, ‘To live and learn in harmony with others, inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus’.




OLPH Feast Day and Winter Woolies
We have 2 upcoming events in the final weeks of term. In week 9, we will celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. In week 10, we will have our Winter Woollies Day in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal. On this day the students will also participate in social justice workshops facilitated by members from the Vinnies team. Watch this space for more information.
First Eucharist
Our First Eucharist candidates are in their final week of preparation before celebrating the Sacrament of Eucharist. They have been preparing at home with their families, at school with their classmates, attending mass and this week will be receiving Reconciliation. We thank our Year 4 teachers Ms Shannon Blakey and Ms Victoria De Mattia for their preparation and effort in making the day memorable. We also thank Fr Mick and sacramental coordinator Sue Collins for their efforts. Please continue to pray for our candidates who will celebrate the Sacrament this weekend 15/16 June during Parish masses.
