ANNUAL SWIMMING CARNIVAL
On Friday, 6 December, our school held the annual swimming carnival at The Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre, Bradbury. The event was very successful, bringing together students from Years 3 to 6 (Competitive swimmers from Years 1 & 2) for a day filled with spirited competition and of course, lots of fun in the water!
On Monday, 16 December at our Monday morning assembly, we will announce the winning House and Swimming Age Champions.

The winning house will be announced on Friday, 13 December to students during the morning messages and parents/carers notified via Compass. The reward will take place on Monday, 16 December. On this day students from the winning house will be rewarded with a mufti day and Zooper Dooper.
YEAR 6 GRADUATION DINNER
The Year 6 Graduation Celebrations commenced last night with dinner at the Campbelltown Catholic Club. Congratulations to all the students on the way in which they presented themselves to celebrate in style together.
We shared a beautiful meal of chicken schnitzel, chips and salad together. There was a special presentation of the graduation cake/cupcakes. A special thank you goes to Mrs Marten for creating these cakes for the students. Mr Moroney spoke and acknowledged the teachers who contributed towards making the night possible.
Then it was time to hit the dance floor. The students enjoyed the opportunity to bust a move with their classmates to celebrate and enjoy this special occasion.
Thank you to Ms Afchal, Mr Nash, Mr Toohey for their efforts in organising a special night for the students. Thanks also to the staff members who were able to attend and celebrate with our senior students.
JUBILEE YEAR 2025- PILGRIMS OF HOPE
Next year, 2025, is a Jubilee Year, where the Church will celebrate the theme Pilgrims Of Hope, encouraging young people and everyone to find hope in God during tough times.
During this time people focus on renewal, forgiveness, and a fresh start. This is a significant celebration for the global Catholic Church where all communities of faith are highly encouraged to participate.
