Looking back on this first Term of 2024, we are proud to note how far we have come as a school family, celebrating our strong mercy history, and building an education fit for the future and a world God desires.
We remain committed to preparing Catherine McAuley students for tomorrow's world, empowering our young learners to shape the world they want to live in.
We are also grateful for the time and care that so many of you take in responding to the needs of your children and that of the school. Thank you for your on-going support.
So, as this Term ends, we celebrate all the wonderful events and activities that have been enjoyed, all the deep teaching and learning that has taken place and for all the gifts and talents each student brings to our community.
As we look to Term 2, we offer a warm welcome to all the new students, and their families starting at Catherine McAuley School. It is an exciting time to be joining us and we are looking forward to getting to know you all, and working alongside you to ensure your child is happy and successful in their own right.
Yours in Faith, Growth and Unity

Last week, Catherine McAuley School celebrated Sports Day in perfect conditions for running, jumping and throwing. Throughout the day, I was impressed by the level of sportspersonship and respect shown by the students. The sense of teamwork and camaraderie amongst the houses was evident, led by our amazing Sports Leaders. It was great to see the students demonstrating their, agility, coordination, speed and strength to the best of their ability throughout Sports Day.
Thank you to all the staff for their commitment and work leading up to Sports Day to guarantee everyone had a successful day. The students appreciated your enthusiasm, encouragement and willingness to get involved and celebrate a day of activity and fun.
I’d also like to congratulate the students on their willingness to demonstrate the Sports Day values of Respect, Effort, Care for Others and Self-Direction.
Thank you to all the Sports Leaders for their help and support in preparing for and assisting on Sports day. Thank you to the many parents who were able to join us on Sports Day and support their child/ren. They appreciated your encouragement and enthusiasm.

Blessings All,
I hope you are all travelling well and are ready to spend some quality time with your children. It has been a busy term and there are many tired faces, (children, parents/carers, and staff), ready for the holidays. Thank you for your support with all the Religious Celebrations and events, and the Project Compassion donations, you are all so very generous and giving families in our Catherine McAuley Community.
Enjoy the time home with your children and stay safe. I would like to share an end of term prayer with you all. May God’s blessing go with us today, at the end of our term. We pray to God to keep us safe and give us the rest, so we start again renewed and refreshed. Full of health, full of fun, ready to come and learn again.
Keep us safe, God Bless Us All.
Blessings
