Welcome back to Term 3. We are so happy to have our community back together refreshed after the school holidays. As we have adapted to the many changes we have experienced this year we have needed to be more flexible than ever before. These experiences, although challenging, have also brought about creative solutions to how our Christ-Centred community stays connected to each other and our Catholic Faith. We are so excited to be able to share that we can proceed with our Sacraments although the format will need to be flexible and open to change as we comply with Covid 19 restrictions. If you have not enrolled please enrol as soon as possible at this link:
