Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back to Term 2. The children have started back at school very positively and looking like they had a good chance to recharge the batteries! I hope that your family had a blessed Easter and that, if you had the chance to have some time away from work over the last two weeks, you were able to relax and unwind a little.

Although Easter has been and gone, the Church is still in the season of Easter up until Pentecost Sunday (23 May). This is an acknowledgement of the time that Christ spent with his followers following the Resurrection. These 'extra' weeks of Easter also help us to hold on to the joy of the season. I pray that the spirit of the risen Lord stays with you in your daily actions and as you interact with others.

Parish First Communion

Many of our students will soon commence the program to support them in receiving their First Holy Communion. We wish them and their families every blessing as they engage in this significant sacramental program.

Parish carpark

Thank you to the parents who have reduced their reliance on the Parish Carpark in the afternoon. As mentioned in the previous Newsletter, we have had many parents and carers who drive into the parish carpark in the hope of finding a park, even though there are very few parks available. When children are walking through this area, it poses a safety risk to have a lot of cars driving through this space, some of them double-parking.

It is strongly recommended that you find a park on the streets. If you are walking with your children, please be mindful of holding their hand and walking in safe areas away from the driveway.

We appreciate how difficult it can be to find a park close to the school. This difficulty is shared in many school communities, as there are very few schools that have a dedicated carpark for parents to use. Of course, safety of the children is our number one priority.

Wishing you a safe week,

Paul Moroney
Principal
