Term 2 2025 Weeks 1 & 2
Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Term 2! What a busy start we have had!
Our students are to be congratulated for their outstanding return to school for Term 2.
Our Dio Cross Country was a huge success. Well done to our competitors - Sawyer, Solomon, Isabella, Maxi, Summer, Millie, Oscar and Rex. Congratulations to Rex Thomas who placed 4th and will next compete at Eastern Creek on 11th June. We will be cheering you on from Coolah Rex!
I would like to thank everyone who made the carnival such a super day, especially Narelle and Ashleigh Kitchin and our amazing P&F. Congratulations on a fantastic day!
Catholic SchoolsWeek in 2025 will be celebrated in Catholic schools throughout the Bathurst Diocese from Monday 12 May through to Sunday 18 May. This annual event is an opportunity for schools to promote the special ethos of Catholic schools and to highlight the great things that take place in these schools every day. The theme for this year’s celebrations is: Guided by Faith. Inspired by Hope, Committed to Learning.
In the words of our Executive Director of Schools, Christina Trimble,
“Catholic schools stand as a beacon in our society, for their contribution to the common good and to the nation’s social capital.They have helped to nurture a more just, tolerant and cohesive society”.
There are 33 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Bathurst that educate around 9000 students and most will celebrate Catholic Schools Week in some way.
Our school has a number of activities during the week including:
Monday 12/5 our Stage 3 will attend the Grip Leadership day in Dubbo.
Tuesday 13/5 we will be visiting St Lawrence’s Catholic Primary School in Coonabarabran for a fun filled day.
Wednesday 15/5 we will be hosting an Open Morning from 10am - 11am. Please promote our Open Morning on Wednesday 15/5 as we would love to showcase our beautiful school with the Coolah Community.
We will also have our Catholic Schools Week Mass at 12.15pm. Everyone is invited to attend.
Thursday 15/5 our ‘Little Hearts Transition Program’ will commence - 9.30 - 11.30am. Please spread the word to support our ‘Little Hearts Transition Program’.
Friday 6/5 we will host our Mothers’ Day High Tea from 9.30 - 11.30am.
Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Looking forward to seeing you at our numerous events during Catholic Schools Week!
God bless and kind regards,
Sarah-Jane Canham

Christian Living Camp
Our Stage 3 students are currently taking part in a truly special experience at the Christian Living Camp, held at the scenic Lake Burrendong. Surrounded by nature, the camp is providing the perfect backdrop for a time of reflection, faith-building, and friendship.
We can’t wait to welcome them home and hear all about their favourite moments and the special friendships and insights they’ve gained during this amazing experience.
