Breathe in me O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me O Holy Spirit that my works, too, may be holy;
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit that I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit to defend that is holy;
Guard me then O Holy Spirit may be holy. Amen.
(Pentecost – 8th June)

School mural
Our school mural in the undercover area is complete! Many thanks to artist, Jordan Paolillo, for creating us a bespoke work of art to depict our school’s values and motto.
Reconciliation Week & Sorry Day
Throughout the week, students engaged in a range of meaningful activities that contributed to a whole school display, thoughtfully designed and created by Miss Keihani, with the help of Miss Leah around this year’s Reconciliation Week theme. Reconciliation Week and Sorry Day are significant moments in Australia’s history, recognising the injustices experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the impact of the Stolen Generations. These commemorations encourage healing, truth-telling, and respect, while helping our students develop empathy and a deeper understanding of our shared history—supporting a more inclusive future for all Australians.
