Mini Olympics
The year 8 students worked very hard to organise a mini olympics yesterday afternoon.  The whole school participated in a fun afternoon with a message.  We will also be raising funds for our para-Olympians.  Thanks to Mr Cartlidge and the Yr 8 students for organising this. Here is a video link of yesterday's Olympics.  https://youtu.be/Ejk-rVIYWfg and some photos.  Click the link to view the photos.

First Communion
Our children are receiving their First Communion at the 9.30 am Mass on Sunday.  We wish them well and will keep them in our prayers.  I am sure they would appreciate all the support they can get at Mass on Sunday.
