Our intrepid Year 4 students stayed the night at Taronga Zoo for an exciting Roar and Snore experience! They enjoyed feeding time with the animals, heard fascinating stories from the zoo keepers, and did a night walk around the enclosures - all topped off by a good night's sleep!

We were delighted to welcome very special visitors to the Junior School for Grandparents' Morning, where, after a song-filled Liturgy, the classrooms were on display for the students to proudly share their learning. Afterwards, a social cuppa in the playground was enjoyed by all.

We extend the warmest of welcomes to our 2023 Kindergarten families, as our youngest students stepped through the gates for their first day of school, to be greeted by their Year 6 buddies. Parents enjoyed a cup of tea and a catch up afterwards.
