Our Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 30 May, 2025  at Tahmoor Sportsground, 140 Thirlmere Way, Tahmoor.  The children who will be attending are Years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.  The children will be catching buses to and from the Carnival departing the school at 9 am and returning in time for the afternoon buses. Parents are permitted to take their children at the conclusion of the carnival after informing their child's teacher. 

Children who are unable to participate should still attend the carnival and they may assist the teacher on the day. Throughout the day the children will be participating in running races, ball games, novelty events and some field events. They will need to wear their sports uniform, hat and pack sunscreen and water. The children may wear their purchased coloured house group t-shirts. Those children who have not purchased a coloured t-shirt will need to wear their school sports shirt. The class teacher will have all medication and action plans with them. If your child has any medical condition that the school is unaware of, please speak to their teacher or the office staff.

On Friday 13 June we will celebrate St Anthony of Padua Feast Day with a whole school Liturgy at 10am in the school hall. Everyone in our community is warmly invited to join the children to celebrate our patron Saint’s feast day.

The Parents’ and Friends’ are kindly providing a free sausage sizzle lunch for the children to be served immediately after the Liturgy. Parents, Carers and Grandparents are encouraged to stay for lunch and have a picnic with your children. Sausage sizzle will be sold for $3 each.

To help with the ordering of sausages and to limit the money being exchanged on the day, we are asking parents/carers to pre-order and pay for their sausage sizzle prior to the day.  Please see note that was sent home with students.

Community Links Wellbeing is a not-for-profit organisation funded by a Primary Health Network. We offer free, holistic, voluntary, solution-focused programs that promote overall wellbeing. Among our latest initiatives for the local Wingecarribee, Wollondilly and Camden community is Star4Kids which we took over as of 1 January 2024.

Star4Kids is FREE psychological therapy for children aged 3-12 years with, or at risk of, developing a mild to moderate mental illness, including depression, anxiety or stress disorders. With a mental health treatment plan, the child would be able to access 12 counselling sessions that are delivered by our mental health clinicians.

We have attached the provisional referral form that, with consent, any professional is able to complete which will give the child access to 3 counselling sessions, and then can then later be accompanied by a mental health treatment plan for further sessions.

Please do not hesitate to contact our Program Support team on 0455 104 104 or this email, should you have any questions.

Please see our new canteen menu which includes a new range of gluten free options.

Sacramental Programs

Religious Education is a priority in Catholic schools. It provides the knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith and outlines what is needed to live a Catholic life. Sacramental programs are Parish based, Parish coordinated, family focused and school supported.

Each year the Sacraments of Penance, Eucharist and Confirmation are celebrated in the Parish.

A Parish based program caters to the needs of all participants. In this way children from all schools receive the same preparation for each sacrament.

The Parish based, family focused approach to Sacramental programs is widely used throughout Australia as the preferred approach. This approach acknowledges the important role of parents and families in the whole preparation process. Parents are the first educators of children in the faith and traditions of the Catholic Church. Parents involvement in Sacramental preparation is crucial in shaping the values and attitudes of each child. So it is vital, for the continual spiritual growth of the child, that the families involve themselves in the Sacramental life of Parish.
