Dear Parents/Carers,

Lord Jesus Christ, bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time. May this day be the step toward a life-long love of the Eucharist. Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to you for comfort, guidance, and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship. Thank you for their innocence and goodness. May their hands, extended in anticipation of your body, inspire all of us to cherish this sacred Sacrament. Amen.

This weekend, many of our students from Year 3 will celebrate their First Holy Communion. I ask that you pray for these children as they share in this most sacred of sacraments, bringing them even closer in relationship with Jesus.

School Photos

You are reminded that next Tuesday 21 June is our school photo day. Details of how you can order photos and other memorabilia is contained in today's Newsletter.

Student reports

Wishing you all a happy and safe week,

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL UPDATE

As you are aware, our Athletics Carnival was held on May 11th, but it was unfortunately too wet to complete all the track and field events. We have been running the missed events at school over the last few weeks, and these are almost complete. Once these events are finalised we will be able to announce the Western Region Athletics Team, the age champions and the overall house winner. The Western Region Athletics Carnival will be held early next term. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
