Bravehearts Day – Friday 12th September

Today, 12 September, our school recognises Bravehearts Day, a national day raising awareness and support for child protection programs across Australia. It was great to see so many students wearing a splash of purple to show their support. Donations can be made directly via the Bravehearts website: www.bravehearts.org.au

Child Safety Week 2025  & National Child Protection Week 

This week we recognise Child Safety Week and National Child Protection Week — a time to renew our commitment to ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and valued. Together, as a school community, we continue to place the safety and wellbeing of all children at the heart of everything we do. 

Child Safety Week: In-School Picture Competition

To celebrate Child Safety Week, our school will be running a Child Safety Picture Competition. Students are invited to create illustrations or images that could be featured in the 2026 Child Friendly Edition of our Child Safety Policy.  This is a meaningful opportunity for students to share their voice and creativity in shaping an important school document. Teachers are encouraged to involve their classes and celebrate their ideas. Each class will help select entries that best reflect the policy, which will then be submitted for consideration.  Entry forms are available for students. Due date: 17 September 2025

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Sunday, September 14, 2025

John 3:13–17
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

God the Father has given the greatest gift — Jesus. Following Jesus means showing love, living with faith, and acting in ways that reflect His example. Through Jesus comes freedom from sin and the gift of eternal life in heaven. Giving thanks for the gift of Jesus reminds us that God’s love is constant and God’s presence is always near. As a family pray a prayer of thanks and praise for God’s greatest gift, his only Son, Jesus Christ. Pray together the Sign of the Cross.

Mothers Who Pray for Their Children

Mothers Who Pray for Their Children is a movement dedicated to supporting Catholic  families through prayer and faith. The group provides mothers with a welcoming community to grow spiritually while interceding for their children and families. This is a wonderful opportunity to find encouragement, connection, and the power of prayer together. A short information piece has been attached, and further details can be provided if needed.
