Father Michael Szymanski presided with former parish priest Father Jude Ronayne joining the school from Ireland. He also celebrated his 80th birthday. Students took part in Mercy Works activities to celebrate St Michael’s feast day on Wednesday afternoon last week.
The Jim Graham Rugby League Cup was played on Thursday last week and the Mary Mills Netball Carnival was last Friday.
A good old fashioned fete ended the 100th anniversary activities on Saturday last weekend.
