CONFIRMATIONIt was great to have Bishop Hanna in our school last week. Bishop spent some time in most of the classrooms and the children were excited to meet him. The reason for his visit was to Confirm the Year 6 children. Thank you to everyone involved in Confirmation on the weekend. This was a beautiful celebration and the children were well prepared and conducted themselves reverently. Well done Mr. Walker!
