Are you coming this evening to our Multicultural Carnivale?

It's going to be a fun evening!

Come along and enjoy food, rides, dancing and great company!

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the organisation, including every stall convenor and volunteer. I would like to offer a very big thank you to the fabulous team who have been leading the way since this time last year: Craig Neiberding, Leilah Ayton, Natalie Nicholson and Anthony Ganley (Assistant Principal) and their families who have supported them. We are very, very appreciative of everyone’s continuous effort and the benefits that all our students and families will receive as a result.

With tonight’s Fete we are raising money to support the implementation of our Outdoor Education Masterplan, beginning with marking out the black top and ovals as soon as we can. Please come along and feed the family without breaking the bank!

A future of love, hope and healing

In my own prayers and considered thoughts, I hold close all those for whom this week's news of Cardinal Pell’s conviction for child sexual abuse has brought to the surface anger, sadness, hurt or confusion. These pivotal moments can cause such unanticipated tremors within us. Whether we have been the victim of such experiences or not, we are all deeply moved and troubled by the long term impact of any such actions on young, formative lives, especially by leaders and those we trust.

While trust in many institutions is in decline, it can be challenging for people of faith when some key Church representatives do not reflect Jesus’ lived ideal of love, fairness, and humility. I am very thankful for our own Parish Priests Frs Gerard and Kimi who lovingly serve our community in the midst of these events.

As the ripples of this event begin to reach far and wide and rightly disturb the once calmer waters of the wider Church community to which I choose to belong, I pray that God's Spirit of love, healing and hope binds us as a people who continue to seek and act to make our world whole, loving and just.
