On Friday the 30th August the St Finbars Community came together for a school liturgy to celebrate Father’s Day.
This day was to honor and give thanks to God for all fathers, grandfathers and the men in our lives who love and care for us like fathers.
Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society.
Our liturgy began at 9:15 am in the parish hall. Children sat with their families listening to gospel readings about fatherhood and stories of what father figures do for us and how that impacts us in our lives.
The P&F hosted a BBQ breakfast, in the bottom playground, and our dads had the opportunity to play soccer with their children and other fun games. Following school tradition, students and their fathers wore their favourite team jersey on this special day.
Overall our students and fathers enjoyed a good sausage sizzle and Dads had a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with their children.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 This morning we began our Mother's Day celebrations with our school BBQ, filled with smiles, delicious treats and the joyful sound of families spending time together. After our BBQ 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.

📍 Canberra Excursion Highlights 🇦🇺 What an unforgettable adventure! Our trip to Canberra was packed with learning, laughter, and lots of proud moments. From the hands-on science fun at Questacon, to exploring democracy in action at Parliament House, and pausing for reflection at the Australian War Memorial, our students experienced some of Australia’s most important landmarks up close. We are proud of how wonderfully the students represented our school—showing curiosity, respect, and enthusiasm every step of the way. A huge thank you to all who made the trip smooth and special. It’s a memorable trip! 🚌🌟 #Canberra2025 #ProudSchoolMoments #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

🙏 Together in Prayer for Pope Francis 🙏 With heavy hearts, we join the global Catholic community in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday. As a community of faith, we reflect on his enduring legacy of solidarity with those in need and his tireless advocacy for the care of our common home, the Earth. 🌍💚 Catholic Schools in our diocese, united in prayer, honour the life and teachings of the Holy Father, who inspired us all to reach out in love and compassion, especially to the marginalised and vulnerable. 🕊️ Jack de Groot, CEO of Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese, shares a personal memory from his time as CEO of Caritas Australia: "I had the great joy of meeting Pope Francis only a few weeks after he became Pope. He was clearly passionately interested in people struggling in times of war and those who were isolated from the Church." Let us come together in prayer, remembering Pope Francis and his unwavering call to serve others, especially those in need. May his example continue to inspire us all in our mission of faith, love, and justice. ✝️💫

🌿 **Reflecting on Holy Week: Gethsemane & the Stations of the Cross** ✝️ This week, our school community was blessed to come together in reverence and reflection through two special experiences — *The Garden of Gethsemane* and *The Stations of the Cross*. These powerful moments allowed us to pause, pray, and walk alongside Jesus in His journey of love, sacrifice, and hope. A heartfelt highlight was the involvement of our Stage 3 students, who formed a discussion panel to respond to thoughtful questions from younger students. Their insights were both moving and informative — showing deep understanding, compassion, and maturity beyond their years. It was inspiring to witness them speak about Jesus' suffering, courage, and the meaning of Easter with such clarity and care. 🙏 Thank you to all who participated and helped make these reflections so meaningful — especially our wonderful Stage 3 leaders. May these moments continue to guide us as we prepare for Easter. #HolyWeek #Gethsemane #StationsoftheCross #Stage3Leaders #FaithInAction #EasterHope #LentenJourney
