It has been an eventful start to Term 1, 2018 with our annual school Swimming Carnival being held on Wednesday the 7th of February at Granville Swimming Centre. We had fantastic weather and all staff and students who attended the event had fun and showed great sportsmanship.
All Students had the opportunity to gain house points by participating in both main pool events as well as novelty races.
The final House results for the 2018 swimming carnival were:
1st Kerrigan (160 points) 2nd MacKillop (147 points) 3rd Martin (142 points)
4th Stack (139 points)
Congratulations to the Kerrigan House on winning the overall point score for the day.
Thank you to the parents who provided support and encouragement to the students on the day. Your presence is always so important on these days. Special thanks to Mr Griffiths who was a valued parent helper on the day.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the staff on another successful event. Thank you for your enthusiasm, and dedication to ensuring our students have a safe and great day.

๐ RU OK? Day 2025 ๐ Today our school community came together to reflect, connect and grow ๐ฑ. We engaged in a range of activities, learning the important messages of RU OK? Day ๐ฌ๐. Through the parable of the mustard seed, students explored how something small can grow into something big โ just like asking โAre you OK?โ can plant seeds of hope, comfort and connection ๐ฟโจ. Students threw words of kindness ๐, became listening legends ๐โญ, and reminded us that even small actions can make a big difference. We then shared a beautiful family picnic lunch ๐งบ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ before spending the afternoon writing colourful chalk messages of kindness around our school ๐๏ธ๐. ๐ A huge thank you to our staff, families, and students for creating such a special day of care and community.
