Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

Sharing Hope and Joy This Advent Our wonderful Faith in Action Team, together with our whole school community, has been busy creating handmade Christmas cards to deliver throughout our local area. Reflecting the spirit of Advent, each card carries a simple but powerful message of hope, joy, and connection. Research reminds us that receiving a handmade card can have a meaningful impact, bringing moments of encouragement, warmth, and positivity to wellbeing. Small gestures truly matter. We are incredibly proud of our students for showing what it means to be inclusive, compassionate, and mindful of others beyond ourselves, especially at this time of year. May these cards brighten the days of those who receive them, and may we continue to spread kindness wherever we go.

🌟 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
