🌿✨ **Year 6 Retreat Day at Schoenstatt – A Beautiful Day of Reflection and Growth** ✨🌿 Today our Year 6 students experienced a retreat day at the peaceful Schoenstatt Grounds. In collaboration with Mary Mackillop, Our Lady of the Rosary and St Joseph's and further led by the inspiring Jesuit Outreach Program, the retreat offered our students a chance to pause, reflect, and connect more deeply with themselves, each other, and their faith. We were so proud to witness such beautiful behaviour and wholehearted participation throughout the day. From thoughtful discussions to quiet moments of prayer and group activities, our students embraced the opportunity to grow spiritually and emotionally. A heartfelt thank you to the facilitators from Jesuit Outreach for sharing their experiences and to all who helped make this day meaningful. 🌟 \#Year6Retreat #Schoenstatt #JesuitOutreach #FaithInAction #GrowingHeartsAndMinds #BeautifulBehaviour #Stage3Journey

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 This morning we began our Mother's Day celebrations with breakfast, filled with smiles, delicious treats and the joyful sound of families spending time together. After breakfast we progressed to a Mother’s Day Mass, giving thanks for the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and other mother figures in our lives. It was a special time to reflect, pray, and share love as a school community. Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning so meaningful — especially our volunteers and staff. And most of all, thank you to our amazing mums. We appreciate you today and every day! 💐❤️ #MothersDay #SchoolCommunity #Gratitude #Celebration
