Dear Parents and Carers,
Last Sunday, we celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, which highlights the relational nature of God, emphasising unity, love, and communion. It invites us to reflect on the mystery of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three persons in perfect unity and love. In the Gospel readings of this day, we see a divine communion that models for us how to live in love and harmony with one another.
Just as the Trinity exists in perfect unity, we are invited to grow in communion with God and with one another, reflecting this divine love in our relationships. As we reflect on this mystery, we are invited to live out our faith in ways that reflect the love and unity of the Trinity—in our homes, workplaces, and friendships.
As a family, you might like to make the Sign of the Cross together this week and say:
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
A simple, but powerful prayer that reminds us of the Trinity every day. God invites us into the compassionate embrace of the Trinity, where we are and as we are, so that we can become all that God knows we can be. May the love of the Trinity guide us always to live with kindness, unity, and joy.
StoryFest 2025: A Celebration of Stories and Creativity
StoryFest this week has been a wonderful celebration of literature, storytelling, and creativity, inspiring students to engage deeply with the power of words and imagination. Our students have had the privilege of learning from renowned authors and creators, each bringing unique perspectives and experiences to ignite curiosity and passion for storytelling. We extend our gratitude to Mrs Lisa Collins for organising a talented lineup of visiting authors, presenters, and performances throughout the week and for fostering a love for reading, writing, and creative expression within our school community.
Winter Uniform Reminder
As the cooler months set in, we kindly remind all students and families that the full winter uniform is now required. This includes wearing the appropriate sports uniform on designated days, ensuring consistency and adherence to school guidelines.
Wearing the correct uniform is more than just following a dress code—a uniform fosters school pride, helps create a respectful learning environment, minimises distractions, and ensures equality among students. It also reinforces responsibility and helps build a sense of belonging within the school community.
If you require support in accessing any uniform items, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the high standard of presentation that reflects our school community.
For detailed information on uniform requirements, please refer to our Uniform Policy, available on our website: Uniform Policy.
Optional Parent-Teacher Meetings
In Week 10, OPTIONAL Parent-Teacher meetings will be held on Monday and Tuesday mornings and afternoons. These meetings are an opportunity to discuss your child’s Semester 1 Report and gain a greater understanding of their progress and areas for continued growth. You are under no obligation to attend; however, your attendance is always welcome. Please visit Compass to make your appointment.
Please continue to check our school calendar or Facebook page for upcoming events. I look forward to seeing you around the school in the coming weeks as we wind up the school term.
Yours in faith and partnership,
Julie Valentini
Acting Principal

As we move from the reflective season of Lent, to Pentecost and now into the heart of Ordinary Time, we're reminded that our faith continues to grow not only through major celebrations but also through our everyday commitments. This season is anything but "ordinary,” it’s a sacred invitation to live the Gospel in quiet, meaningful ways.
With this in mind, the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation are fast approaching for our students. These moments will be rich with grace and joy, marking significant steps in their faith journeys. Please be sure to mark the following key dates in your diaries and prepare to walk alongside our young people in these special times:
First Reconciliation (Year 2)
- 27 July: Enrolment after 9.00am Mass, Ulladulla
- 3 August: 5.00pm Family Mass, Milton (attendance required)
- 5 September: Retreat at St Mary’s (9.00am–3.00pm); Sacrament at 6.00pm, St Mary’s Church
First Holy Communion (Year 3)

- 2 November: 5.00pm Family Mass, Milton (attendance required)
- 14 November: Retreat at St Mary’s (9.00am–3.00pm)

- 21 September: Sacrament during 9.00am Mass, Holy Family, Ulladulla
These dates are more than events, they’re sacred milestones in the lives of our students. Let’s prepare our hearts and calendars so we can journey together with joy and intention.
Yours in faith,
Dylan Anderson

It’s been a busy and exciting time in Year 4! We’ve been getting our hands dirty exploring soil types. Students have planted seeds and are observing how soil impacts plant growth. We’re also investigating erosion and how it affects the environment.
In English, we’re hard at work creating information reports about Australian animals, using research skills to organise facts clearly and effectively.
We’ve recently wrapped up our data unit in Maths, where students surveyed other classes and presented their findings through a column graph. It was great to see real-world maths in action!
We’re now looking forward to our Stage 2 fossil excursion on Wednesday 25 June, a fantastic opportunity to link our science learning with the past.
KOORI CUP Koori Cup is being held on Sunday 17 August in Kiama, it is open to all students aged 10-15 with playing options for both girls and boys.
