Mr Walker will be back at school from the beginning of next term. Welcome back Greg!

At the start of next term, I will be taking a couple of weeks leave. During my absence Mrs Liz Higgins will continue as Acting Assistant Principal and Mr Chris Evans as Acting Religious Education Coordinator.

Chess Competition

On Tuesday Rosary hosted the ACT Girls Primary Chess Championships. Our team played with enthusiasm and skill! They all thoroughly enjoyed the healthy competition and meeting other chess-loving girls from all over Canberra.

Thank you to Mrs Vincent for supervising the day with our students and to Mrs Dawson for organising the event and her continued work with our Chess Club students each week.

Congratulations to the Year 5 and Year 6 students who participated in the ACT KidsLit Literature Competition at Merici on Tuesday.  Our students competed well and used their knowledge of literature and team collaborative skills to perform well. Thank you Mr Evans for your time and commitment to lead this event.

Holy Week Liturgies

Our thanks to the students and teachers for their beautiful contributions to this week’s Easter liturgies. Your reverence and reflection truly brought the Easter story to life.

A special thank you to the parents and carers who were able to join us—it was wonderful to share these moments of faith and community together.

Thank you to our wonderful students, staff, and families for your energy, support, and enthusiasm throughout the term.

As we enter the Easter season, may we all take time to reflect on the hope and joy that the Resurrection brings. We wish you a safe and restful holiday break, and a very Happy Easter.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for Term 2, refreshed and ready for more learning and fun.
