St Matthew’s Day

Last week our school community came together to celebrate the feast of St Matthew; a wonderful day to reflect on his life and all he achieved. We learnt about how St Matthew began as a tax collector, living a selfish and unkind life, but when Jesus called him to follow, he said “yes” and went on to do great things in spreading the Good News.

We were blessed to celebrate with a beautiful Mass led by Fr John, who reminded the students that St Matthew is a true role model and that God needs and uses all kinds of people to carry out His mission.

Following Mass, the students took part in a special pilgrimage session, journeying around the school to learn more about St Matthew and his faith. They especially loved collecting stamps along the way at each station! We then finished the day in our MJR groups, enjoying some small games and time together.

A big thank you to our wonderful parents who baked cupcakes for the students – they were very much enjoyed! 

What an excellent day of faith, fun, and community spirit. 

Warm regards,
