GRADUATION MASS

This Sunday, 16 December will see us celebrate our final mass for the year – our GRADUATION

MASS. You are invited to gather to give thanks for the year and to farewell our Class of 2018. Mass

begins at 10.30 am in the church. We look forward to seeing you there. TALENT QUEST

There are no words to describe the

spectacular that was our ‘Talent

Quest.’ We had science tricks,

dancing, iPad music, acts, puppet

shows, singing, skits, displays of

instrumental virtuosity (great

instrument playing) and so much

more. A HUGE THANK YOU to

Maria for producing, staging,

directing and being main prop

organiser. What an incredible

amount of talent we found in our School!
