St James the Apostle Catholic Primary School

Last Wednesday evening, our Year 6 students celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation at St James the Apostle Church.

It was a wonderful occasion, led by Bishop Martin and Fr Jude, as our students publicly affirmed their faith and received the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are incredibly proud of the reverence, confidence and maturity shown by our candidates throughout their preparation and on the night itself.

Thank you to our families, sponsors, staff and parish community for supporting our students on this important step in their faith journey. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen them in the years ahead.

This week at St James, our Senior Learning Community students are off to camp. As such, some of the Specialist days have changed so please make sure you look to when your child's specialist day is this week. We wish our Senior students and the staff attending with them a safe and wonderful time on camp.

This week at St James our confirmation candidates are celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation on Wednesday night in our Parish Church. On Friday, the Middle Learning Community are going on an excursion to the Art Centre.

This week at St James we have a shorter week with a school closure on Friday 5th June. Please note due to this and the Senior Winter Gala Day, specialist days have changed for some Learning Communities. Join us for the Parents and Friends meeting online on Tuesday night at 6.30pm.

Another busy and exciting week ahead at St James! 🎉

From Athletics Day and Doughnut Day, to the National Simultaneous Storytime and our Year 6 Confirmation Reflection Day, there is plenty happening across our learning communities this week.

We wish all of our students a wonderful Week 6 filled with learning, friendship and fun! 💙💛

Last night, we were blessed to welcome many of our Year 6 Confirmation families to our Sacramental Formation Evening led by Rev. Dr. Elio Capra.

It was wonderful to see such a great turnout of families as we gathered to learn more about the Sacrament of Confirmation and its deep connection to Baptism. Families enjoyed hearing Fr Elio share how the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist were once celebrated together, highlighting the journey of faith and initiation into the Church.

We thank Fr Elio for sharing his wisdom and helping prepare our students and families for this important step in their faith journey.

Another busy and exciting week ahead at St James! 🌟

From excursions and incursions to our Confirmation Sacramental Evening, there’s plenty happening across the school community this week. We also look forward to gathering for Monday’s assembly led by our Middle Learning Community.

A reminder for families of Confirmation candidates that our Sacramental Evening will be held this Thursday 21 May at 6.30pm in the hall.

Wishing all of our students and families a wonderful Week 5! 💙💛
