Spirit of St Lucy’s

It has been an exciting start to Term 3 for our students at St Lucy’s. They all enjoyed a lovely extended holiday and were indeed ready to return! This week we welcomed a group of about 30 students and their teachers from St Ignatius, Riverview, who spent the day with us on Tuesday. This was part of their school’s Feast Day celebration and is an ongoing connection between our two schools. One group of boys joined the Aurora Class on an outing to Zone Bowling at Hornsby. It was a very fun experience for all who attended!
