Principal’s Post – 11 May 2018
Dear Parents and members of our school community,
Mother's Day Prayer
Lord, thank you for all mothers. For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants in arms. For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life. For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for our special vulnerable children. For the patient ones, who always seek to forgive and engage with their pre-teens. For the persistent ones, who cleverly find new ways to connect with their mini-adults. For the mother aunts, who step in to cradle and care for nieces and nephews. For all grandmas, who love and support their precious grandchildren. For the foster mums that are called to gather and cover the fragile ones. For the Sunday mums who care for our children and lead them in faith. For the mums who give far beyond their own resources, who overcome disability to cherish and love. Thank you Lord for all our beautiful mothers. Help us to support them and keep them in our prayers. May you bless them now on this their special day. Amen.
Mary as our Mother and Queen of the May
On Tuesday we held a very simple and meaningful service honouring Mary as our Mother and Queen of the May. The children placed flowers in front of the statue and prayed a decade of the rosary before returning to class.
Winter Uniform – Slacks for Girls In line with the practice in many other schools, we are very happy to permit girls to wear grey slacks, especially during Terms 2 and 3. Please see Angie Grant in the uniform shop should your daughter enjoy feeling warm and comfortable in grey school slacks.
FRIDAY 18TH MAY 2018 – NATIONAL WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY
Now in its 19th year, National Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual event when all primary school children will be encouraged to walk and commute safely to school. It is a community event seeking to promote road safety, health, public transport and the environment.
Our school has registered for this day.
For this day you may simply choose to park your car at a place near to the school such as Santich Park; or the Stargate shopping Centre. This is especially true if you live more than a kilometre away. However, if it is a lovely fine day why not set off a bit early and enjoy a healthy walk?
