WE MADE IT!!!

Well!! Wasn't that an interesting year. But we made it to the end without too many injuries along the way. COVID certainly tested our mettle and our resourcefulness. Teachers learnt very quickly, and successfully,  how to deliver their programs in different modes. Technology has became a great helper and learning from home was an eye opener for all. Thak you everyone for your patience, support and encouragement for each other during this year. 

We hope that 2021 will be a better year in terms of contact in the school. We will be able to have our Extrenal Providers (OT's, ST's etc)back, P&F meetings and  our piano and dance teachers. Parental access to assemblies and whole school activities will still be limited at this stage, but we are hoping that will change during the holidays with new announcements. We will keep you posted.

Please enjoy the Christmas break. Don't forget to find time to celebrate in the church and keep those less fortunate in your minds during this time. 

You might find this version of the classic Christmas hymn a peaceful way to start the holidays with your children.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE :)

FAREWELL YEAR 6

Yesterday we celebrated Mass for only the second time since the COVID lockdown to farewell the Year 6 students as they graduate from Primary School. It was a wonderful celebration involving the whole school. We were fortunate enough to allow some parents into the school to celebrate with us also.

As I said yesterday after Mass,

I leave you with this thought. It is my favourite Bible reference and it comes from the Old Testament of Micah who was a prophet for the ancient kings of Judah. He tells us to

 “ act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8)

So my wish for you all is that you learn to be people of integrity and honesty, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, with forgiveness and gentleness, and to always remember that when you achieve something, do it with humility and know God walks with you in all your difficult times.

Farewell to Olivia, Maria, Lachlan, Bailey, Ari, Logan, Ewan, Deacon, Sam & Jack -- don't be strangers.
