This week is a very important week for many of our Year 6 students who are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is a culmination of weeks of preparation and learning about the sacrament and the impact the lives of saints had on the early church communities and their commitment to making a difference and standing up for what they believe.

St Monica's is now registered to use the Check In CBR QR code as one of our COVID-19 protocols for larger gatherings where parents or visitors are present at important school events. We will advertise when families will be required to use the app. Upcoming events include Kinder Orientation and the Year 6 End of Year liturgies. Parents will be required to download the app and scan our allocated QR code when arriving at an event. Paper sign-in will be available should families be unable to add the app to their phone.  Please remember if unwell children or parents should not attend a school event.
