On Monday, St.Emilie’s were competitors in the Basketball WA School Slam Series. St.Emilie’s also went into the day as the current champions from last year.

We were able to enter Three Teams into the tournament. (2 Boys and 1 Girls) Each team played 4 qualifying games with the aim of reaching the semi finals, then hopefully the grand final.

Our Boys A Team cruised through the qualifying rounds undefeated and booked a place in the semi finals. They then made light work of their semi final opponents and booked a meeting with East Fremantle in the grand final.

Things became a little tougher in the final, and although the game went right down to the wire, our boys never gave up; but couldn’t quite get over the line.

Our Boys B and Girls teams both went through their qualifying rounds without a win. However their effort and attitude during those games certainly didn’t reflect the results.

A big thank you to Mr Naden, Miss Corkhill, Mr Carroll and all the parents who turned up to support or help out in any way throughout the day.

MacKillop House Day
Courage in all Things

MacKillop House celebrated the feast day of Mary MacKillop on 8^th August. A Prayer service was held to remember Australia’s first Saint…

Mary cared about the people who had no one to look after them such as boys and girls who just roamed the streets, children in the country who had no school to go to, people who were old and sick and people who had nowhere to live. Mary wanted more than anything to help these people.

Mary MacKillop kept her faith in God and bravely challenged those who did not support her vision for a more caring world. Mary is an important Australian who spent her life helping people, especially children. She is Australia’s first Saint.

A huge thank you to the MacKillop students for their generous donations! We were able to purchase 33 new sleeping bags, along with pre loved sleeping bags, for those less fortunate than ourselves. Our donation was delivered to St Patrick’s Community Support Centre in Fremantle where we hope they will bring some comfort on these cold winter nights.

Mary MacKillop’s belief ‘never see a need without doing something about it’ was brought to life through your generosity!
Thank you MacKillop families!

Herbs for sale!

On Friday a small group of students met with Mrs Cogger to work in St Emilie’s Community Vegie Garden. Our task was to pack and transport potted herbs to take up to the hall to sell to our gathering assembly guests. Thank you to all our guests and customers who support our vegie garden project.

Today, St.Emilie’s were paid a visit by the Perth Scorchers cricket development team. It was fantastic to have them come along and provide our Year 3 Students with a fun filled Cricket Clinic.

We were also very lucky to have Perth Scorchers star and Australian Opening batsman, Cameron Bancroft helping the kids out with their activities.

He also took the time to sign some autographs and have some great conversations with our students.

Our Year 3 Students completed a number of cricket based activities that included catching, throwing and fielding skills.

Some of our students were even lucky enough to receive prizes, which included a signed cricket bat!

Students who are interested in playing cricket can attend a ‘come and try’ session at Ranford Primary School this Saturday between 10am -2pm

Children aged 5-7 play the Junior Blasters Comp (60min games)

Children aged 7-10 play Master Blasters (90min games)

Children aged 9+ play Junior Cricket (2 Hours)

These formats are for both Boys and Girls.

A special visit … this Friday afternoon!

Last year, to mark the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady’s appearance in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, Pope Francis blessed six statues of Our Lady of Fatima and sent into each of the six continents for public veneration and to encourage devotion to Our Lady.

This Friday afternoon students will gather in the church for 30 minutes to listen to Missionary sisters talk about Our Lady of Fatima’s call to prayer.

Parents are very welcome to come along and join us if you can make it. As you will read below, the pilgram image will be in our Church from 12.30pm -6.30pm .

Thank you Mums and Dads!

A huge thank you to all families for your wonderful support of the children’s school disco and drinks and nibbles night last Friday! We all had a really great time and the children were fantastic from start to finish!

Despite awful weather we had over 350 children attend the disco and over 100 parents gather in the hub to have a chat! A really awesome community effort and we thank you sincerely for braving the weather!

A special thank you to Alison McEniery for organising the children’s disco and to Rebecca Richards for getting the Hub gathering together. These very busy working women rallied helpers and spent a considerable amount of time making sure that everyone was well catered for. Bravo girls!

Many thanks also go out to Miss Goodall and Miss Thomas who put their hand up to be DJ’s for the night! They did a fabulous job and the children really enjoyed seeing two familiar faces 🙂

As a leader, I am deeply grateful to all our staff for their generous presence, support and practical help on the night – we are very lucky indeed to have such a committed team here at St Emilie’s!

Kerry Ross took some wonderful photos at the disco. We will let you know how you can purchase some shortly! 🙂 Thank you Kerry!

All in all a fabulous night of fun and friendship!
