As Catholics and as School, the Eucharist forms the centre of our Christian
Catholic life.

These Masses are advertised in the school newsletter and on the school calendar, Parents and caregivers are VERY WELCOME.
Class Masses
Students also have class experiences of the Eucharist by planning, attending and
participating in Masses on Fridays at 9:15am. These are rostered during mainly Terms 2, 3 and 4. These are advertised in the school newsletters and on the school calendar.
Parents and caregivers are very welcome to attend.
Classes are generally paired and participate by planning and carrying out the scripture readings, reading the Prayers of the Faithful, singing, and carrying up the Offertory gifts.
Community Masses
We encourage all of our worshipping community (school and parish) to be at Mass every Sunday. However, the school takes responsibility for organising the Sunday Eucharist at least once per term.
Parents/caregivers and friends are always VERY WELCOME to attend all opportunities where the school is celebrating the Eucharist.
These are well advertised in the weekly school newsletter and are also on the calendar.
