Fishing is one of the most significant causes of declines in ocean wildlife populations.
Catching fish is not inherently bad for the ocean, except when fish are overfished, meaning that fish are caught faster than stocks can replenish.

This week we will be participating in R U OK?

Whilst working in lockdown, checking in on one another’s wellbeing is more important than ever.
Happy Father’s Day to all our fathers or other father figures (such as stepfather, grandfather, uncle or close family friend)! Each year around Father’s Day, we host a Father-Daughter Mass and Dinner.

We would like to express our HUGE thanks and appreciation to all our school community for participating in our Book Week 2021. We have been overwhelmed with amazing images of dress-up costumes for the past, cakes that have been created inspired by the Book Week theme 'Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds' or inspired by books we all love. Our dress-up has been fantastic today, so very creative! Thanks again everyone! #mericipride
