βοΈ Holy Week Reflection βοΈ During this sacred time in the Church year, our Year 6 students will lead our school community in a reverent Holy Week reenactment. Through prayerful reading, acting, and song, they will bring to life the events of Holy Week, helping us all to enter more deeply into the story of Jesusβ love, sacrifice, and hope. This special experience is not just a performance, but an opportunity for our whole school to pause, reflect, and pray together. As we gather, we are invited to walk alongside Jesus in His journey, to listen to His message, and to open our hearts to the meaning of this season in our own lives. We warmly invite all parents, carers, and family members to join us for this special time of prayer and reflection.

Today we congratulate our Year 3 and Year 5 students who have now completed their 2026 NAPLAN assessments. We are very proud of the way our students approached these assessments, showing persistence, resilience and a positive attitude as they gave their best effort in each assessment. NAPLAN provides a snapshot of learning, but it does not capture the many strengths, talents and qualities that make each of our students unique. Well done Year 3 and Year 5! π
