Welcome to the new school year of 2025!  In preparation for the new school year, all staff participated in our annual Spirituality Day. This year’s theme was ‘Walking Together in Hope and Action’ based on the Scripture story ‘The Road to Emmaus’, which highlights the importance of listening to each other with compassion and remembering that Jesus is always walking alongside us. Staff developed their knowledge and understanding of synodality and reflected on their role as Catholic educators, walking together in the evangelising mission of the school. What a privilege it is to be a community which celebrates Jesus’ great love for us all.

All are welcome to attend our Whole School Opening Mass which will celebrate the beginning of the new school year.
