Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
This Sunday we begin the beautiful season of Advent. The word Advent derives from the Latin word adventus meaning 'coming.' Obviously, in the Christian tradition, we use the season of Advent to prepare for the coming of Christ - his birth.
Of course, there are many secular things that we attend to when preparing for Christmas - decorations, gifts, food, invitations etc. As Christians, it is especially important that we prepare ourselves spiritually for Christmas. Giving ourselves the gift of time to be able to reflect on the significance of Christmas in our modern world, to thank God for our many blessings, to attend Mass, to be in nature so as to help reconnect with God, or to seek ways to support someone in need. There are many ways in which we use Advent as a time to feel ready for everything that Christmas brings.

Thank you for your support of this fundraiser happening this week. Many children have been able to bring in 5c coins to add to their class's container. Just a reminder that the class with the most coins wins a pizza lunch party.
