The staff of the Boys School would like to pass on our very best wishes to the 14 Boys receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion this Saturday, the 13th of May 2017.
May they continue to grow in the presence and love of God and may they always know the peace of Jesus, the light of His Love and the joy of His life within them.

  • Contain fibre as well as a whole myriad of beneficial vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, the B vitamins, potassium and magnesium.
  • Dark green vegetables like spinach and broccoli contain folate and vitamin E, while orange and red vegetables provide carotenes, a form of vitamin A.
  • Also provide a wide variety of other substances called phytochemicals, flavonoids and phytonutrients which are thought to be protective.
  • Fruit is fairly low in calories and contains no fat, and is a great choice for a snack between meals.
