Feast of the Immaculate Conception - This year we will be celebrating our Feast Day very differently. We will be having a school celebration due to COVID-19 restrictions. Students will be invited to wear mufti on this day with a blue and white theme for Mary. Additionally, our P&F will be holding a sausage sizzle with a popper for all the students.
Most importantly, we will be holding a very special prayer for our Feast Day in the hall with activities to follow.
ACTIVATE Fire Retreat Day - The Wollongong Diocese Catholic Youth Ministry Team has launched an online version of the spirituality program designed for all Year 6 students across the Diocese. This year our students will be participating in a Spiritual Retreat Day at school. We will be running the online version of this program and providing lunch for the students.
Year 6 Farewell Liturgy - Our ‘Year 6 Farewell Liturgy’ will be held during the day on Tuesday 15 December 2020. This event will be recorded as the current COVID restriction for our Church continues to be 91 people. Students will participate in a special luncheon in the hall afterward, with a sharing of memories. This will be uploaded on Google Classroom for parents and children to share the event together. Further details will be forthcoming via a letter to all students.
End of Year Mass - Our ‘End of Year Mass’ will be available for viewing on Wednesday 16 December 2020. This mass will be attended by the Year 6 cohort and relevant Year 5 students and recorded for all students to view. Students will gather after Lunch 1 on the final day to officially farewell those leaving our school and forming our traditional ‘Guard of Honour’. Parents are unfortunately unable to attend or enter the school grounds on this day.
