Today we celebrated our Opening School Liturgy by coming together as a community to celebrate and give thanks for the new school year. Our theme for this year is "Called to Community". The word community comes from a Latin word which means "common… shared by all or many”.
On Friday 3rd February, our Year 12 Student Leaders rose bright and early and left for Adelaide to engage in our annual Josephite Immersion Experience.

Congratulations to our Year 12 Visual Arts students for the exhibition of their practical work at the Platform Gallery. The exhibition opened on Monday evening with more than 60 people in attendance. It was great to see family and friends appreciate the artwork created by our students. The standard of work is more than impressive and reflects the knowledge, skills, commitment and creativity of our students.
On Friday the school community gathered together to celebrate the Mass of Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring to fullness the school year. In particular, it was of significant importance for our Year 12s who were coming to the completion of their schooling journey. It was lovely to watch the Year 12 students process into the Mass holding the hand of a Reception student. The symbolism of this part of the Mass captures and reflects the essence of who we are as a Catholic school community - a place we can grow.
Following the Mass of Thanksgiving, the Year 12 students and their families gathered to celebrate their Graduation Dinner at Central Oval. It was an excellent celebration to mark the end of the Year 12's schooling journey. Old scholar, Nathan Freeman, was our guest speaker and he spoke incredibly well about his school journey and beyond. He presented as a wonderful advocate for Catholic education, rural life and following your dreams. Awards were presented to students to acknowledge individual efforts and commitment throughout the year. It was a fitting way to farewell our graduates as we send them off into an exciting future with our blessings and best wishes.
On Saturday 20 August, 11 students and their families came together to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with Bishop Karol and Father Jim, at All Saints Catholic Parish.
After a few years of COVID postponements and cancellations, we were able to once again celebrate our foundress and Patron Saint in style on her feast day.
On Wednesday 6th July the Year 12s climbed aboard the big bus and made their way to Camp Willochra, where they spent both Wednesday and Thursday in reflection. The days provided students with a unique opportunity to refresh and regroup during a very busy time of the year, whilst also engaging them in a number of reflective actvities centred on 'Our Call to Love'.
On Sunday 19 June, 7 students celebrated the Sacrament of First Eucharist at All Saints Parish with Father Jim officiating.
