How do you make a pancake smile? You have to butter it up!
On Tuesday, our school community came together to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, which is better known around the world as Pancake Day.
Shrove Tuesday marks the day before Ash Wednesday and celebrates the upcoming season of Lent.
We were honoured to be joined on the day by Hugh McDermott, the Member of Parliament for Prospect, who helped to cook and serve pancakes for our school community on the day.
We would like to thank all of the students, parents, staff and visitors who were involved on the day and helped to make it a success!

✨ Today we did something truly special. ✨ As a school community, we came together to celebrate peace and light, inspired by Jesus’ example and the symbol of light that shines across many faiths. We also took time to acknowledge and honour our Hindu friends, who celebrate light during this time of year. Together, we lit a Catholic candle and a Hindu Diya, symbols of unity and hope, reminding us that we are stronger as one — united in peace. 🕯️✨ Our celebration continued with a pilgrimage of peace and hope, where each step reflected our shared commitment to kindness and understanding. We finished beneath a symbolic archway, marking a promise to ourselves and to others: to be peacemakers in our world. 🌏💛 To mark this commitment, we also planted a Tree of Peace as a living symbol of hope, harmony, and unity for generations to come. #PeaceAndLight #UnityInDiversity #WeAreOne #FaithInAction

✨ What a Week of Mercy! ✨ Last term, our school community came together to celebrate a truly amazing Week of Mercy. Each day began with a heartfelt Mercy prayer led by our inspiring Year 6 students, setting the tone for a week filled with compassion, reflection and joy. Our beautiful Mercy liturgy was a standout moment with a magical reflection brought to life by our talented choir and dance group. We were also blessed to have Srs Antoinette, Sally and Margaret join us for the liturgy and present the Mercy Awards, recognising students who live out the Mercy values in their everyday actions. The celebrations continued with our much-loved Mercy Cup, a fierce but friendly netball showdown between the teachers and students 🏐. This was all wrapped up with the incredible Mercy Markets, organised by Year 6. Through their creativity and generosity, they raised an amazing $2,403.10 for Mercy Works! 💙 Take a look at the snaps capturing the joy, faith and spirit of the magical Mercy Week that was! 🌿✨
