Today we celebrated Shrove Tuesday as a Santa Sophia community 🥞✨ Shrove Tuesday is a special day in the Liturgical calendar, marking the day before Lent begins — a time of reflection, prayer and preparation for Easter. There were lots of smiling faces (and long lines!) as students lined up for pancakes. A wonderful way to come together before the season of Lent begins. 💜 Thank you to our Social Justice team and student helpers for doing fantastic job serving their peers. #Lent #ShroveTuesday Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

Last Wednesday we held our Secondary Swimming Carnival 🏊‍♂️☀️ What a fun (and very hot!) fantastic day! From competitive races to Lizard Lane, volleyball and slides in the indoor pool — there was something for everyone. It was fantastic to see everyone cheering for their House, showing incredible spirit, and giving every race a go. We loved seeing students step up, compete and support one another throughout the day. Check out some highlights from a great day of fun and House pride! 📸 #SecondarySwimmingCarnnival #SwimmingCarnival #SchoolSpirit Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
