Today we joined schools, libraries and communities across Australia in celebrating National Simultaneous Storytime with this year’s featured book, Luna Roo!

Students loved coming together to share the story, sparking imagination, laughter and a love of reading. National Simultaneous Storytime is a wonderful celebration of literacy, storytelling and the joy that books bring to our classrooms and communities.

💙💛

Today, we acknowledge National Sorry Day as a time to reflect, remember and recognise the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the Stolen Generations.

As a school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together in the spirit of reconciliation. May we continue to foster understanding, respect and kindness as we work towards a more united future for all Australians.

💙💛

This week, we recognise National Reconciliation Week and this year’s theme, All In - a reminder that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that we all have a role to play in creating meaningful change.

As a school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through understanding, respect and shared responsibility, we can help build a more inclusive and united future for all Australians.

Together, we are All In for reconciliation. 💛🖤❤️

We are incredibly proud to share that Paul Hegarty was honoured as the 2026 CESA Experienced Teacher of the Year (Primary) at last night’s awards dinner.

The CESA Awards recognise unwavering commitment to Catholic education and the extraordinary outcomes achieved across many categories. Paul’s award is a truly fitting acknowledgement of his 40+ years of dedicated, high‑quality service in Catholic schools.

This recognition celebrates Paul’s ongoing commitment to his students, his pursuit of excellence in teaching, and the positive impact he brings to our school community every single day.

Please join us in congratulating Paul on this outstanding achievement. As a school community, we celebrate and thank him for all that he brings to our school.

Congratulations, Paul!
