A big congratulations to the boys in 2nd Class who made their First Confession last night. They were so well behaved and were a credit to the school. The boys sang three songs, performed the Lost Sheep story and prepared some beautiful art to decorate the church. Well done to Adam in 6th Class who drew a fabulous picture of a shepherd for the altar. Thanks to Sr. Patricia for her help in preparing for the night, and to Fr. James and Fr. Larry for hearing our confessions. We are all now looking forward to our First Holy Communion on the 18th of May at 11am.

Some of the art the boys prepared for the church.

Over the past two months in the school, all the boys have been working hard to complete the Discover Primary Science and Maths Award.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in it!
