2018 Parent Helper Breakfast
On Wednesday, 12 December, staff and parents gathered for the 2018 Parent Helper Breakfast. This breakfast is a small way to say thank you to the parents and carers who assist during the school year including covering library books, assisting in the canteen, assisting in events such as discos, barbecues and concerts as well as helping coach students in a range of sporting gala days.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated and valued by the entire school community. Every helping hand, not matter how small, helps our students to be safe, respectful learners.

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, โBlessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of Godโ (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.
