MOTHERS DAY LITURGY & PICNIC
On Sunday, 14 May we celebrated Mother's Day. We are thankful for our mothers, grandmothers, aunts and all those women who love and care for us.
On Monday, 15 May, our school celebrated with a Mother’s Day Liturgy as part of our Morning Assembly. It was a special opportunity for the important women in the lives of our students to join us in a whole school celebration.
Thank you to the Year 2 Teachers and Students for leading us in a beautiful liturgy. The prayers were heartfelt and the closing hymn was performed beautifully.
At the first lunch break we held our Mother’s Day Picnic. There was a wonderful community spirit throughout. It was fantastic to see so many mum’s, grandmother’s, aunt’s and other special women in the lives of our children attend. We look forward to further opportunities like this one in the future.
During lunch breaks, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of clubs that take place during the week. Some clubs are specific for particular grades. In upcoming newsletters, we will provide a report from the students about what these clubs have been doing.
The clubs are listed below with the days they take place:
