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.

Next Tuesday at 7pm, 11 August, The Good Shepherd Parish will be hosting the First-Class Relic of St Clare of Assisi, which will be available for all to venerate as we celebrate the feast of this beloved Saint. Before Mass, there will be a talk presented by Camille Bautista, a 2020 graduate of St Clare's High School who also previously served the school as a teacher's aide. She will be sharing a reflection on the life and witness of St Clare. The evening is being hosted by Capuchin Young Adults Plumpton, who are guided by the Capuchin Friars (like Fr John) and are made up of St Clare’s HS and St Francis of Assisi Primary Shool alumni. It is a wonderful opportunity during this Jubilee Year of St Francis and the 800th anniversary of his passing to honour the deep friendship and shared spirituality of St Francis and St Clare.
