On Friday 1st November 2019 we celebrated All Saints' Day Mass and Grandparents Day.
This was a spectacular day for our community where both Kindergarten and Stage 4 joined together to celebrate the Saints in Heaven along with sharing the celebrations with their Grandparents.
Kindergarten dressed up as their favourite Saint for the day and it was a real joy to see their costumes and their musical performance of "Sound of the Saints".
After the All Saints' Day Mass the Grandparents were invited to have their photo taken with their grandchild and enjoy an afternoon tea.
Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebrations. It was wonderful to see such high participation and a room full of Grandparents and Grandchildren sharing the All Saints' Day celebration together

Over 200 students from Tokyo visited the college last Thursday and Friday. They took part in a variety of integration activities, tried Australian snacks, and shared a bit about themselves in classes. The Takanawa students also joined the college for sport, playing traditional Aussie favourites with our Stage 3 and Stage 5 students. It was wonderful to see them connecting with our students across both Connect and Challenge during recess and lunch. #JapaneseExchange #InternationalSchool #SchoolofConnect
