Welcome to Term 3!

This term our students begin looking towards Jesus' Divinity as present in the Eucharist. This will be a big focus, particularly for our Year 4 students who will be celebrating their First Eucharist in September. 

Over the break Philippa Brearley and Kristy Everding visited our Global School Partner school in Kenya, Eveland Hekima. It was wonderful to see all the photos of them witnessing the efforts of our fundraising. A tree was planted by both schools to signify the new relationship between our two communities.
