On Friday 1st November 2019 we celebrated All Saints' Day Mass and Grandparents Day.
This was a spectacular day for our community where both Kindergarten and Stage 4 joined together to celebrate the Saints in Heaven along with sharing the celebrations with their Grandparents.
Kindergarten dressed up as their favourite Saint for the day and it was a real joy to see their costumes and their musical performance of "Sound of the Saints".
After the All Saints' Day Mass the Grandparents were invited to have their photo taken with their grandchild and enjoy an afternoon tea.
Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebrations. It was wonderful to see such high participation and a room full of Grandparents and Grandchildren sharing the All Saints' Day celebration together

πβ¨ Spreading Christmas Cheer at Blacktown Hospital! β¨π Last Friday, our students and staff delivered a bundle of joy to the pediatric ward at Blacktown Hospital as part of our Christmas Appeal.
