CONFIRMATION

A new date for the celebration of Confirmation for Year 6 students has been announced.  It will be Saturday, 4 December and Sunday, 5 December at 11am.  Due to current restrictions, at this stage, the planned Retreat/Workshop day will take place within the school by Year 6 classroom teachers.

ALL SAINTS DAY

Next Monday, 1 November is All Saints Day.  All Saints' Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It should not be confused with All Souls' Day, which is observed on November 2, and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.

All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be celebrating this feast day of our church by learning about a Saint through various activities.  Each grade has been given a Saint to learn about and their learning will be showcased in a video and shared with parents.

RIPPLES PODCAST

In this different time that we are experiencing, sometimes we need to shut down and clear our minds of the things going on around us. The podcast Ripples: Inspired Voices, Treasured Stillness was developed in response to COVID-19 and from a desire to find new ways to ‘be’ in this environment.

This podcast was developed for staff and parents on-going spiritual formation. It seeks to offer a space where people can draw on the wisdom of a series of guest speakers and can experience some treasured stillness through meditation. Practices like these create a ripple effect. They have the potential to impact the way we respond to family, friends, colleagues, to creation and to our loving God. Come and enjoy some Inspired Voices and Treasured Stillness.  The podcast can be listened to through ‘Apple Podcast’ or ‘’Podbean. To access please use this link: https://ripples.dow.catholic.edu.au/
