Dear Parents and Carer’s of St Kevin’s,
Jubilee 2025
We as a Catholic community will hear about this Jubilee throughout 2025. The link below from our Maitland Newcastle Diocese provides you with all the information and background of a Jubilee year and the Jubilee 2025 in particular.
Diocese of Maitland -Newcastle -Jubilee Year 2025
I already hear you ask “What is a Jubilee Year? “Again, our Diocese has provided answers to your questions, and these can be found in the link below.
I ask you all as a Catholic community to at least read and think about the Jubilee 2025 and perhaps ponder on its logo “Pilgrims of Hope” and what your hopes are for your children, their future and their faith.
The logo itself can be explained in the link below, but for me it reflects our own school vision where we are a Catholic community nurturing mind, heart and spirit- following the light of Christ.
So, we may not get to Italy or Rome, but we can definitely demonstrate to the wider community through our words and actions that we are Pilgrims of Hope, nurturing our children in their faith and life experiences to be inclusive and supportive of all.

Canteen Update
We are continuing to search for a qualified canteen food handler supervisor, so that we meet NSW Government legislation. Meanwhile we hope the students and parents enjoy the special meal deals that are currently being offered in lieu of our regular canteen lunches.
Enrolments
2026 enrolments are now open. If your child is starting kindergarten or Year 7 in 2026, please visit the online enrolment section via our school website. Round one applications close 23 May 2025 so please submit your applications as soon as possible.
Communication
Thank you Mrs Hogan for always ensuring that there are weekly updates sent out on a Friday so that parents can triple check for the week ahead. Our school newsletter, website and school calendar also have all the important information you need.
Easter Fun Activities
Yes, we will still be having our annual Easter Hat parade and Easter Egg raffle. Parents make hats at home. There are no prizes for the best hat, it’s all about having fun. This parade will be held on Wednesday April 9.
Our annual Easter Egg raffle is created by donations of Easter eggs from our parent community. The children come to school on Friday March 28 in their play clothes and bring in donations of chocolate Easter eggs. These eggs are then made into prizes by our Fundraising Team and raffle tickets are sold. It's a great raffle with up to 60 or more prizes and promotes great excitement and community spirit.
Building update
March 10 is our start date!!!! We’re so excited!!!!
