Dear Parents

As a faith community we celebrated Family Mass last Saturday at Infant Jesus Church. It was wonderful to have families gather with members of the parish for this celebraIon. The Mass, celebrated by Fr Greg, was a wonderful opportunity for families, extended family and parishioners to pray together, listen and share the Good News.

As a school we conInue to work very closely with the parish throughout the year with all aspects of the Sacramental Program and other liturgical celebraIons.

This special mass also included organising the Infant Jesus School Choir to lead the singing. We look forward to families conInuing to join us for these special celebraIons to enrich our community and support each other in our faith journey. 2023 Enrolments

CongratulaIons to the students who were selected to represent Infant Jesus School at the 2022 Technology Interschool Challenge which was organised by Miss Myles and Digital Technology Teachers from three other Catholic Primary Schools.

The selected students parIcipated as a team of four in either the Senior Challenge or the Junior Challenge. The aim of the Challenge was to allow children to use their coding skills to solve various problems and challenges based on the book ‘We Are Australians.’

All the students excitedly shared their gids and talents, worked cooperaIvely and were able to very efficiently and effecIvely solve all the challenges whilst also assisIng with direcIons for all the visitors. At the conclusion of the challenge the children were very excited to share their achievements.
