Year 6 Confirmation Mass
This Sunday, beginning at 8:30am, our Year 6 students will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation during Mass at the St Damien’s Parish. We wish all of the Confirmation candidates the very best as they receive this very important Sacrament and take another significant step in their journey of faith.
Fr Chris will be the celebrant for the upcoming Confirmation Mass and has met with all of the Year 6 students to discuss the importance of the Sacrament and how it can assist them in leading a life of love and faith.

Yoh Fest
On Tuesday evening our fantastic school choir got the opportunity to perform in the ‘Yoh Fest’, held at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. The students took centre stage to begin the event and did an amazing job performing the song, ‘Respect’. All students are to be congratulated for their efforts, and for being awarded ‘Runners-Up’ in the song contest. Well done to Mrs Burns for organising and preparing the choir for this event and thank you to all of the parents who were able to come along and support the event.
Behaviour Focus
This term, the school has introduced a behaviour focus for the students during play times. The purpose of having a focus is to be able to improve the safety and wellbeing of our students by teaching them the expected behaviours of the school and reminding the students why we have these rules in place. The current behaviour focus is, ‘No Running on the Bricks’.
