At Holy Family, we joyfully celebrated Shrove Tuesday as one Catholic community π₯ Shrove Tuesday marks the day before the beginning of Lent and is a special time in our Catholic tradition. The word βshroveβ comes from shrive, meaning to confess and prepare our hearts for the Lenten season. βοΈ Today, our students gathered in faith, friendship and gratitude, sharing in this tradition together as we prepare to journey through Lent as a school community. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful staff who always go above and beyond to make these special events meaningful and memorable for our students. We are so grateful for your generosity and dedication.β€οΈ

Happy Valentineβs Day, Holy Family π Today isnβt just about chocolates and roses, itβs about love in its truest form. The kind of love that is patient, kind, forgiving and generous. The kind of love that chooses others, builds community and reflects the heart of Christ. At Holy Family, we see that love lived out every day: π€ in the way our students include one another π€ in the care shown in our classrooms π€ in the partnership between school and families π€ in the quiet acts of kindness that often go unnoticed As we celebrate Valentineβs Day, we are reminded that love is not just something we feel, it is something we do. βLet all that you do be done in love.β 1 Corinthians 16:14 May our hearts today and every day, be centred on the kind of love that helps us grow in faith, wellbeing and learning. π

Our students were proud to attend the Project Compassion Launch: Unite Against Poverty π Through prayer, a meaningful water blessing, and learning about Sisiliaβs story, our students were invited to open their hearts and reflect on how we are called to live with compassion, justice and hope. They listened thoughtfully to inspiring words from Bishop Vincent Long and Jack De Groot, reminding us that even small actions can make a powerful difference. Together, we reflected on how we can bring this message back to our own school community and continue to live our motto: In Christ we live, love and learn. β¨ Watch this space, Holy Family community - exciting ways to Unite Against Poverty and support Project Compassion are coming soon. Stay tunedβ¨
