This Friday marks an important day for the community of St Thomas' as we celebrate our
Feast and Foundation Day. It was on this day in 1936 that Archbishop Duhig blessed the
foundation stone for what is now our main school building. Prior to this building, the church
verandah had been used since the school began under the care of the Sisters of the Good
Samaritan in 1929. On Friday we will reflect on our school's rich history, with a sense of
excitement for the future that awaits the young people in our school.
The day will be filled with rotating activities where the students will be placed in their
house colours. There will be two groups for each house, these groups will move around to
four different stations. These stations will incorporate our St Thomas' values of Faith,
Justice, Compassion and Learning. We will also be including our school theme -Living
Laudato si' - Care for our Common Home.
At 2pm we will celebrate a whole school Liturgy in the Church. Families are more than
welcome to attend.
We ask that all students come to school dressed in their sport uniform and school house
sports shirt.
