Happy Father’s Day
Hope all our fathers enjoyed Father’s Day last Sunday. What a heart felt Father’s Day Liturgy our Preps presented last Wednesday. Our Preps celebrated and honored those men in our lives who are our fathers or are as father figures to us.
This year’s Colour Run was bigger and better than ever! So wonderful to see the fun our students, families, staff and visitors had together on the day.
To put together an event as huge as this, it takes many hands, heads and just plan hard work for it to happen. We have many people to thank for both the set up and pack up. Without them it could not have been such a wonderful experience for our school community.
