2018 Christmas Celebration Concert
On December 6, the feast day of St Nicholas of Myra, over 700 people from our school community gathered for the 2018 Christmas Celebration Concert. This wonderful event included a free barbecue, our annual Christmas raffle and our talented students acting out and singing the Christmas story. The students are to be commended on their amazing costumes, reverent acting and beautiful singing. We even had a surprise visit from the North Pole with Santa and Mrs Claus stopping by to share gifts with the children.
A big thank you to the teachers and parents who assisted before, during after the celebration. An extra thank you to Mike and Outback Steakhouse Penrith for their donation and cooking the barbecue and to Miss Reece for her hours of preparation and rehearsal of the students to make this event one to remember. A wonderful event for a wonderful community.

Remembrance Day Today, on the 11th of November, we stop to remember all the men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict, and peace. At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause to honour their courage and sacrifice. As a Catholic community, we remember that Jesus calls us to be people of peace and love. In the Gospel, Jesus says, βBlessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of Godβ (Matthew 5:9). On this day, we give thanks for the men and women who have worked to bring peace to our world, often with great courage and selflessness. The red poppy reminds us that even after times of great sadness, new life and hope can grow. We wear it to show our respect and to promise that we will not forget those who gave their lives for others. Remembrance Day reminds us of the people who gave up so much so that we can live in peace and freedom. We remember those who fought at places like Gallipoli and the Western Front, and those who have served in more recent times, helping others around the world. The red poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. It grew on the battlefields after the First World War and reminds us that even in dark times, hope can grow. We invite you to join our commemoration on Wednesday 12th at 10:45am on the school playground. Lest we forget.
