From the Executive Principal
The reading last Sunday was from the Gospel of John and included one of the more well known phrases of Jesus - “I give you a new commandment: love one another just as I have loved you”. If we take this directive from Jesus seriously it is both ambitious and demanding. As followers of Jesus, we are challenged to love everyone… no exceptions. We are not just called to love and care for those who love us or those who see the world the same way we do, but we must also open our hearts to love, care for and be kind to those who it is sometimes hard to love. This is no easy task, but if we were to all keep it in mind and strive to achieve it each day, the world would no doubt be a more beautiful place.
Last week was Catholic Schools Week. It was great to see the range of opportunities provided for students, staff and families to celebrate our wonderful K-12 Catholic school community. From open classrooms to student v teachers competitions, there was plenty of fun and connection evident across our two campuses last week. Events like these provide us with an important opportunity to reflect on how blessed we are to be part of a community where we are all striving to answer the call of Jesus to “Be More” and to rise to the daily challenge of loving everyone… without exception! Thank you to all those who helped to make it such a special week in our school.
God bless

Road Safety Reminder
A reminder that parents and carers collecting students by car at the end of the school day are required to use the Stop, Drop and Go Zone.
Parking in the staff car park and collecting students from there is not permitted as it presents an increased safety risk for students. We understand that pick up time can be potentially frustrating, however, the amount of time from beginning to end is relatively short - it generally takes 5-10 mins at most for the traffic to clear.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
