True Colours

Let your true colours shine!

Welcome back to 2023! Our school theme for 2023 is called True Colours. We will use coloured lenses to view the world and remind students of the qualities and values that are important to all people. In addition to our coloured lens, we need to put on the ‘lens of Jesus’ to bring our Catholic values to life and be our bests selves. We recognise that how we treat others is a choice and that through our actions and words, we show the colours of our hearts.

Below are the qualities and values we will be focused on throughout the school year. Each week our Social Justice Action Group will share a quote for the week – based on these qualities and give tips to the younger students as to how they can show positive actions in their daily life.  

Red - LOVE and RESPECT

Yellow – STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE

Green – COURAGE and RESILIENCE

Purple –COMPASSION and FORGIVENESS

Orange – PEACE and UNITY

Blue - HOPE and FAITH

Sacrament Update – 2023 Attention parents of students in Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6!

This year, we will be celebrating First Reconciliation in Year 3 and Year 4. This change will allow the students in their stage groups to celebrate this special event together. Date to be advised shortly once they have been confirmed.

Moving our celebration of Reconciliation and Eucharist means that we will be celebrating this event every second year. This will also align with our celebrations of Confirmation for our Year 5 and 6 students.

Enrolment forms will be sent out in Week 3, and preparations will begin soon for all Sacraments. Please note that Baptism certificates will need to be photocopied and attached to the enrolment form, so you may like to start chasing this up if you have not got it handy.
