👏 Congratulations to our past student Evelyn Woibo who has successfully completed her Certificate III in Early Childhood.

Evelyn was enrolled at Holy Spirit College, Cooktown Campus back in 2019 and we are very proud of her achievement.

✝ Ash Wednesday ✝
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season; a time which is typically defined by prayer, fasting, and giving for Catholics. Lent is much more than a season that marks the passing of time in the Church, it is a key part to a believer’s individual faith journey.
Yesterday our Yr 4-6 students joined the parish and students from Holy Spirit College Cooktown and Cairns at 9am for a liturgy. Our younger classes had liturgies later in the day. Thank you to Fr Frank Gordon for leading us in this important time of our Church year.
