On Thursday 22nd September, we celebrated St Francis Day and our 25th Anniversary.
Father Gerard and Father Vincey led us in the celebration of Mass, where we learnt about what makes St Francis such a special saint. We were also told about how the school was developed from the commencement.
We were fortunate to have important guests attend our celebration such as Mr Ed Husic our local Federal Member, past principals, Paul Easton from the Catholic Education office and local Catholic School principals along with some past teachers and even parents who attended the school as a student themselves.

On our way home! 🚍 Year 6 had an awesome time away at camp over the last two days. Throughout the trip they showed outstanding behaviour, supported one another, and truly embraced every opportunity that came their way. Many students stepped outside their comfort zones, challenged themselves with new activities, and demonstrated resilience and teamwork along the way. We are so proud of the courage, positivity, and maturity they showed. What a fantastic group of young people! 👏
