Lord Jesus,
Bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time.
May this day be an initial step into 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.
May their eagerness to receive Your Body and Blood inspire all of us to cherish this Sacred Sacrament.
Amen.
Dear Parents/Carers,
This Sunday several of our students from Years 3-6 will be receiving Holy Communion for the first time. To coincide with the Feast of Corpus Christi (the body and blood of Christ), each year our Parish celebrates this special sacrament. Receiving the Holy Eucharist is considered one of the greatest expressions of our faith - it brings to life the command that Jesus gave to ‘do this in memory of me” and it helps us to feel that he is truly alive within us. As adults we know that our own First Holy Communion becomes a milestone in our lives, one which we use as a marking point for when our relationship with Jesus and our connection to the church has the chance to flourish. In wonder if we still receive communion with the same excitement and awe that we did on that very first occasion?
Sincere thanks go to Fr John and Fr Richard, Miss Costello, our Religious Education Coordinator, the Parish Sacramental Team and the school staff who helped in preparing the students and organising the sacrament this weekend. Please keep the students and their families in your prayers.
P & F Meeting
The P & F Meeting for Term 2 is being held next Tuesday 4 June 9.00-10.00am in the Parish Hall. The P & F make such a positive contribution to our school community and welcome your support. Attendance to the meeting via Zoom will also be made available with a link distributed via Compass.
Staff Professional Development Day
You are reminded that our next Staff Professional Development Day is being held on Friday 7 June. Students do not attend school on this day.
Wishing you a safe and blessed week,
Principal
TELL THEM FROM ME’ SURVEY
It is with gratitude to the many parents/carers for taking the time to complete the 'Tell Them From Me Survey'. Your participation is invaluable in maintaining our commitment to working together in partnership to further enhance student learning and wellbeing at St John the Evangelist, Campbelltown.
Your feedback provides us with essential insights into identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement. Through your thoughtful responses, we gain a deeper understanding of how we can better support our students in their educational journey and foster a nurturing environment that promotes their overall wellbeing.
Our school firmly believes in the power of collaboration between home and school. Your active involvement reinforces this belief and strengthens the bond between our community and our shared goal of providing the best possible educational experience for our students.
Please know that your input is highly valued and we will share the data with you in upcoming weeks as we continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of our school community.
The survey will actually close on Friday, 31 May 2024. It is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the URL below:

CELEBRATING NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
National Sorry Day 2024 falls this year on Sunday, 26 May and is a day when we pause to remember the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It leads us into the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation and National Reconciliation Week which is held each year between 27 May and 3 June.
This year's theme 'Now more than ever' is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will —and must —continue.
A special prayer was held at the morning assembly this week in recognition of this important week for our country.
FEAST OF MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS- 24 MAY
Last Friday, we celebrated the Feast of Mary, Help of Christians through a special prayer. She is the patron of our country, Australia. We celebrate the many gifts God has given us here in Australia – one people from many parts of our world, the beauty of our country, the freedom and peace that we are so lucky to enjoy.
We look to Mary for her help, her protection and her guidance. We try to follow her example of love and strength in everything we do.
Mary, The Mother of God, is given many titles or names such as:
Mary, first among disciples
Mary, Mother for all people
Mary, woman of faith
Mary, Queen of Peace
These are just some of her titles, but today, we remember her as Mary, Help of Christians.
Almighty God our Father,
You placed the love of Mary Help of Christians
in the hearts of those who first brought the Catholic faith to Australia.
We ask, that with Mary’s help,
our leaders can be wise and that we can all be people of truth and goodness.
Under Mary’s protection, may Australia be filled with harmony, justice and peace.
Amen.

Diocesan Cross Country
Yesterday we had 22 students represent our School at the Wollongong Diocese Cross Country Championships held in Nowra. It was a wonderful day with all students giving their absolute best to finish a very difficult course. The students were great ambassadors for our school and should be proud of their efforts. A big congratulations to Chayse B for coming third in his Multi-Class race and a special thank you to his big sister Shylah for being his support runner. Congratulations also to Alessandra V who came fourth in the 10 Year Girls and has progressed to the NSWCPS Cross Country Championships which will be held next week. We wish her all the best. Thank you to the parents who were able to support the students and cheer them on, especially Michelle Coleborn who volunteered on our schools behalf as a course marshal.
Any students who wore their singlet home are asked to return them to the office and have your name marked off.
Mrs Tracy New
