Catholic Education Week at Columba
__
Columba has had a long-standing connection with the schools and parishes of St James Nar Nar Goon, and St John the Baptist Koo Wee Rup. As Parishes in Partnership (PIPs), we will join to celebrate Catholic Education Week.
__
On Wednesday 22nd of May, the grade 3-4 students will host a Mass at Columba with our PIPs and attend a sausage sizzle afterward.
__
On Thursday 23rd of May the grade Preps, Ones, and Twos will celebrate a Mass at Koo Wee Rup with our PIPs and will receive cinnamon donuts afterward.
On Friday 24th of May the grade 5-6 students will celebrate Mass at St James Nar Nar Goon and share a morning tea treat.
__
This is a good opportunity for students to meet other schools who share our values in carrying the Christian messages of Jesus.
Our dedicated Columba teachers will also acknowledge Catholic Education Week in the classroom during prayer and Religious Education classes.
