Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums and motherly figures of our SJF community! 💕 Today, we celebrate the unconditional love and unwavering support you give to your children and family. We hope you get to put your feet up and spend the day doing all the things you love! 💐

MOTHER’S DAY 2025 💐🍄 This morning, our school grounds turned into a magical ‘Secret Garden’ for our Mother’s Day Celebration! Our amazing dads cooked up a yummy hot breakfast, allowing our SJF mums, grandmothers and special women to sit and take a moment with their children and SJF friends.

Followed by open classrooms and a heartwarming Mother’s Day Liturgy, our school was filled with pure joy and love 💕

We hope each and everyone one of you enjoyed a morning dedicated just to you!

A very BIG thank you to all the parents who helped bring this beautiful event to life or volunteered their time for our Mother’s Day Stall, and to the wonderful dads for their culinary skills this morning! It’s been a massive few weeks and we couldn’t have done it without your help. Lastly, a huge shout out to our staff, especially Mrs Benton and Mrs Lawicki, for all your hard work behind the scenes. We’re truly blessed with the best! 🫶

National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day in Aust

National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day in Australia, is an occasion dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence. This day underscores the ongoing crisis of domestic violence in the country, drawing attention to its devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities.

The day provides an opportunity for Australians to reflect on the horrific impact of violence within homes. It encourages people to come together to honour the victims, support survivors, and advocate for meaningful societal change to end the cycle of abuse. Activities on this day will include vigils, community events, and public awareness campaigns—all aimed at highlighting the severity of domestic violence, raising awareness, and promoting available resources for prevention and support.

National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day also serves as a call to action, urging individuals to speak out against abuse and to recognise the importance of education, prevention, and accessible assistance for those affected. It is especially significant in shedding light on the fact that domestic violence often remains hidden, affecting people across all ages, genders, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Key Statistics on Domestic Violence in Australia:
▪️️One in four women have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner since the age of 15.
▪️On average, one woman per week is murdered in Australia by a current or former partner.
▪️More than 60% of Australians know someone who has experienced domestic violence.
▪️Children are also impacted, with an estimated 1 in 5 children witnessing domestic violence each year.
▪️In 2022, over 50,000 reported incidents of domestic violence-related assaults were recorded by Australian police.

This day is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for continued action to address domestic violence and support those who are affected.

If you or someone you know needs help, please call CatholicCare on 1800 324 924 or 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).

ANZAC DAY 2025 🌺 We thank all those who came to represent SJF and pay homage to our fallen service men and women at today’s ANZAC memorial at The Entrance.

Our wreaths, the first made of gum leaves collected from our school grounds, and the second made of ANZAC slouch hats lovingly created by our students, signify the deep understanding and respect our children have for their brave ancestors and their sacrifice.

As our students proudly marched together today, they encapsulated the very meaning of what our ANZACs fought for ❤️ #lestweforget

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

“It is with deep sadness we hear the news from R

“It is with deep sadness we hear the news from Rome of the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis.

The 88-year-old pontiff, who had been in increasingly failing health, passed away at Casa Santa Martia at 7:35am Rome time.

Please unite with all the Christian faithful in praying for the eternal rest of his soul and entrust him to the tender loving mercy of God the Father. We entrust him to the intercession of Mary and the Saints.

Pope Francis was a good shepherd whose love for Jesus Christ and His Church inspired millions around the world. May we strive to carry forward his message of mercy, compassion, and unity in this Holy Year which Pope Francis himself declared a Jubilee of Hope.

As the successor of Saint Peter, and through his teachings and actions, Pope Francis took the Gospel to the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalised, while calling everyone to care for the world as our common home.

May the Lord in whom he trusted in now welcome him home and let perpetual light shine upon him.

In the coming days, more information will be available regarding opportunities to come together as the community of the Church of Broken Bay to remember and pray for this remarkable and prophetic leader.

Requiescat in pace.”

~ Bishop Anthony Randazzo
