Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s normally around this time of the year we hold our mission fete. Unfortunately,due to COVID restrictions we are not able to do so this year. Instead, our Yr. 5/6’s are

raising funds for Catholic Mission through the sale of our 60 Year Anniversary Cookbook. More details about purchasing the cookbook will be out soon – we hope to take pre-orders next week. A very big thank you to Mel Kirk (Baily Yr. 5) for her design and compilation work.

 “Every man and woman is a mission; that is the reason for our life on this earth”. Pope Francis.
