Dear Parents/Carers,

After a period of seven weeks, this Sunday marks the time that we come to the end of the Easter season. Pentecost Sunday is like the 'birthday' of the church as it celebrates the moment when the men and women who were devoted to spreading Jesus' message, had the confidence to commence this significant calling. We read that they were gifted by the Holy Spirit to share this message of love and joy. Today, more than two thousand years later, we have the responsibility of carrying on this message, so we pray that the Holy Spirit can be with us. 

Whole School Mass

Next Tuesday 25 May, we will be celebrating a whole school Mass under the COLA to acknowledge our school's connection to the Good Samaritan sisters. This will be the first opportunity this year that we have been able to invite parents to a Mass. If you are able to join with us, we will be creating an atmosphere of quiet and reverence to match what would normally happen in a church. You will also need to register your attendance via a QR code that will be placed at the school's entrance.

Athletics Carnival

There have been some notifications posted on Compass recently about our upcoming Athletics Carnival (Monday 31 May). This event is being held for all students from Kinder to Year 6. You will need to respond to a series of questions on Compass in order to give your child permission and to let us know whether you will collect your child from the venue or have them return to school. We are also seeking help on the day, so that it can run as smoothly as possible. There is also specific information about the 800m event, as well as High Jump and Long Jump for children in Years 3-6. Please read all the information carefully and contact the office if you need any assitance.

Wishing you a safe week, 

Paul Moroney
Principal
