Lent Outreach Challenge – We Can Bring a Can
Thank you to all families for bringing donations for the parish foodbank each week during Lent. This Lent we donated enough food to feed over 80 families – your generosity was greatly appreciated. 

WINTER UNIFORM

Term 2 is the time to transition to Winter uniform.  This includes socks and plain black school shoes.  Students may still wear the short sleeve shirt or blouse.  As the weather is changeable at this time of year, students may stay in summer sandals for the first two weeks of Term 2.   ALL STUDENTS MUST be in winter socks and shoes by Monday 12 May.
