Principals Message
Dear Parents,
We were fortunate to receive many nominations from parents who were keen to join our School Advisory Committee and we thank them all for their willingness to further support our school community. Voting has now closed for these positions, and we would like to announce our committee for the 2024 school year. All committee members understand the important role they play in being the voice of the broader population of parents as well as being able to be respectful, confidential and supportive of all school decisions.
Our 2024 Advisory Committee;
Chairman: Justin Greenwood
Secretary: Rachael Williams
Parish Priest: Fr Brendan Hogan
Parent Representatives: Amie De Battista, Kelly Bonacci, Stephanie Clements, Graeme Hill & Simon Baxter
Sacrament of Reconciliation
I am pleased to announce that ten of our students received the sacrament of reconciliation for the first time last Thursday night at St Ita’s Catholic Church. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate these students and to thank our senior teachers, Mrs Meg Cribbes, Miss Bree Alger, and Mrs Emily Moschitz, for their hard work in educating and preparing our students to participate in this sacrament.
A reminder that tomorrow, Thursday 28th of March is the last day of term 1 with school ending at our normal time of 3:20pm. As we move into the holiday period, I would like to remind everyone about some important dates and information for the beginning of term 2.

Holy Week
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the significance of Holy Week and the upcoming Easter celebrations. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week for Catholics around the world. This is a time for us to reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus, and to be grateful for the most loving act known to humans. I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful Easter and enjoys this time with their loved ones.
Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to seeing you all when school resumes.
