It was wonderful to see so many happy faces and hugs shared on Friday the 30th of August as the community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel gathered to honour the fathers, grandfathers and father figures with a delicious breakfast and heart-warming mass.
Father’s Day Breakfast was followed by a mass - where we were able to give thanks and reflect on being blessed with our special fathers.
A huge thanks to the P & F committee for once again coordinating the breakfast event. Thank you also to the team of helpers who helped ensure the breakfast was such a success. It was a wonderful way for the pupils to thank their fathers for their constant love, care and support.
Finally, thank you to everyone who attended the event, it was lovely to see so many OLMC families sharing Father's Day.

What a beautiful way to celebrate our Fathers’! We extend our deepest thanks to the amazing mums in our school community who generously hosted our Fathers’ Day Breakfast. The spread of cookies, cakes, pizzas, fruit, right down to the specially wrapped Tim Tams, exemplified a feast made with love and care. Our Dads, grandfathers, carers and the special men in our students’ lives felt truly appreciated. Thank you for the time, thoughtfulness and community spirit you brought to this special morning. 💙A full list of volunteers and those who generously donated for our event will be included in this weeks newsletter💙

Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese mourns the loss of former Executive Director of Schools Greg Whitby AM KSG. Diocese of Parramatta Bishop Vincent Long has shared a moving tribute to Greg here: https://catholicoutlook.org/vale-to-greg-whitby-am-former-executive-director-of-catholic-education/ Greg led our organisation, then known as Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta, from 2006 to 2022. He will be remembered fondly, including for his dedication to making a difference to the lives of children and young people across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains through education. Not only was Greg our leader, he was also one of our own: a graduate of St Monica's North Parramatta as well as a former Principal of Emmaus Catholic College Kemps Creek. A larger-than-life character, his championship of change and innovation was a source of inspiration. He leaves an extraordinary legacy of thought-leadership and advocacy that continues to serve Catholic schools in the Parramatta Diocese today. CSPD gives thanks for Greg’s life and leadership. He will be remembered for his courage, vision and passion, which will live on through the generations of educators he has inspired. We share our sincerest sympathies with Greg’s wife Sue, their children Matthew, Alexandra and Sophie, his grandchildren, and extended family at this very sad time. Eternal rest grant unto Greg, O Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

What an adventurous day we’ve had! This morning, our school came alive with dragons, detectives, pirates, superheroes, and so many favourite storybook characters. From creative homemade outfits to much-loved store-bought costumes, the parade was bursting with colour and imagination. And yes, the staff costume reveal was absolutely worth the wait! The adventure didn’t stop there. At midday, the whole school joined in a giant scavenger hunt! Teams made up of students from across all grades raced around solving riddles and uncovering hidden locations. You might be thinking, “392 students running all over the school? Surely that’s chaos!” Well… yes, but it was the most joyful kind of chaos—filled with teamwork, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition. 🏆 Points Update: Elijah (Red): 2444 Gilroy (Blue): 2660 Mackillop (Green): 1798 McAuley (Gold): 2291 A huge thank you to our parents, carers, and staff who joined the fun and helped make Book Week such a memorable celebration. 📚💫
