Today we gathered together to celebrate the gift from God to us all – our mothers.
It was a time to reflect on how important mothers are to our lives. A mother’s love for her children is an amazing thing and truly comes from God. So let us reflect and thank God for the gift of our mums.
The altar was decorated with symbols:
To begin we bring forward symbols to tell the story of our Mums
A big heart is a symbol of the great love our Mums have for us and the love we have for them.
The watering can reminds us of all the care our Mums give us to make sure we grow and glow.
The box of tissues represent the times mums are there to dry our tears when we are not happy.
The iron symbolises reminds us of all mums do to make sure we always look our best.
The rolling pin for all the food mum cooks and packs for us.
The apron thanks mum for all the time you spend cooking, cleaning and taking care of us.
The picture of Mary symbolises Jesus’ Mum . Like Mary our mums share their unconditional love with us.
After mass the Mothers, grandmothers and parishioners joined together to have a morning tea.
We would like to wish all mothers, grandmothers, godmothers and special women in our lives a very happy Mother's day.

π Celebrating Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Day & Grandparents Day π What a wonderful day of faith, family and community! Last Friday, we gathered to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel while honouring our grandparents and the special people who nurture, guide and love us each day.

It was heartwarming to see generations celebrating together, reminding us that our school is truly a community where everyone belongs. A heartfelt thank you to our parish, staff, students, families and grandparents for making the day such a memorable celebration.

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

This week Year 3 had two special visitors β Rufus and Ola, two playful desert dingo pups. The children have been reading the book Wandi and this visit brought their learning to life. Students loved meeting Rufus and Ola and learning more about dingo conservation and care. The pups were full of energy and quickly won everyone over with their friendly nature, playful personalities, and plenty of enthusiastic licks! The children enjoyed interacting with the dingoes up close and were fascinated to see firsthand the unique features and behaviours they had been learning about in class. This memorable experience provided a wonderful opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Australia's native animals while creating some very special memories with our dingo cubs along the way.
