Today we welcomed St Finbar’s and St Matthew’s for the third year of the Simmons Collective Challenge! Stage 2 and 3 students from all schools participated in three exciting and engaging challenges throughout the day. First, students worked in teams to build the tallest tower they could using only marshmallows and pasta. Next, they tackled a series of challenging quiz questions that tested their teamwork and critical thinking skills. Finally, they used Indi cars to navigate creative pathways based on challenge cards — a fun and tech-inspired way to wrap up the day! All students showed fantastic resilience, collaboration, and school spirit. Congratulations to St Finbar’s, who were the overall winners this year!![176022598337143_799392966000100-1]()

✝️🏀⛹️♂️ 🌭Father’s Day Celebration 🌭⛹️♂️🏀✝️ Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Father’s Day liturgy, BBQ breakfast, and games morning. It was wonderful to see our students celebrating this special occasion with their families. Our Gospel reading this morning—the Parable of the Prodigal Son—reminded us of the importance of forgiveness, love, and second chances within our families and school community. As we continue through the Year of Hope, this message encourages us to embrace compassion and connection in all our relationships. We wish all our fathers and father figures a very happy Father’s Day this Sunday. May your day be filled with love, appreciation, and joy.
