Today, our grade 6 students had the opportunity to run for either school or sports captain. We are so proud of the effort each one of them put in to preparing for their speech and the confidence they displayed when presenting to staff, students and parents. Well done, to you all! ...

Our teachers have spent this week engaging in various professional learning opportunities so they can provide our students with the best learning experiences.

Today, they spent time with staff from across the southern deanery, Catholic Education’s Identity and Outreach team and senior leaders and musician Gen Bryant. They had a great day and are more inspired than ever to welcome our students and their families next Wednesday.
