🌟 Celebrating 30 Years of Service with St Vincent de Paul🌟 We would like to congratulate the students who proudly represented our school community at the 30-year anniversary Mass for the St Vincent de Paul Society in the Mountains. During the celebration, the students received a special blessing alongside the veteran members of the Vinnies community; a beautiful moment of connection between generations of service. These young people have already shown a true gift of generosity in spirit, reflecting the values of compassion and care that lie at the heart of St Vincent de Paul. We are proud to support them as they continue to develop their faith and commitment to serving others. We also thank the members of the St Vincent de Paul community for nurturing our participation in their programs. #StVincentDePaul #30YearsOfService #FaithInAction #GenerosityOfSpirit #ProudSchoolCommunity #Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

🌹 The Month of the Holy Rosary 🌹 Throughout October, our school community has been praying the Holy Rosary each afternoon. Our students have been learning about the Mysteries of the Rosary; the special moments from the lives of Jesus and Mary that help us reflect on God’s love and faithfulness. Each day, we focus on a Mystery, Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, or Glorious, and take time to think about what they teach us about hope and faith. Families are warmly invited to send rosary beads to school with their children to enhance this prayerful experience. Having a set of beads provides a beautiful, tactile way for students to connect more deeply with the rhythm and meaning of the Rosary. Together, we continue to grow in faith, reflection, and peace during this sacred month.

🎉 Well done, St Finbar’s! 🎉 Our amazing students have shown that even a little “goo” can do a lot of good! 💚 Through their creative “Goo for Good” fundraising initiative in late Term 3, they raised an incredible $250 to support Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. We’re so proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and generosity in making a positive difference in our community. 🙌 Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and got a little gooey for good! 💦✨ #StFinbarsSpirit #GooForGood #StudentsMakingADifference #CommunityPride
