Year 7 and Year 12 Buddy Communion Service and Breakfast

Thank you to all the Year 12 and Year 7 parents for making sure your daughter was at school on Friday by 7.15am. The Buddy Breakfast was a wonderful event for connecting and continuing the strong buddy relationship. Gabriella Cameron, Year 7, shared a meaningful reflection on the support given to her by her Year 12 buddy. Thank you to the Liturgy Captain, Phillipa Tonkin, for her preparation and work with Ms McCullough, the Year 12 Liturgy Leaders and the Year 12 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
