Catholic Education – Celebrating 200 Years

On Monday 24th May, Catholic schools across Australia will gather to celebrate 200 years of education.  This day has been chosen as it is the Feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians, the patron saint of Australia.

We invite our parents and families to join with us in the Library at 9am on Monday, for a special Prayer service to recognise this historical event for Australian Catholic Schools.

Making Jesus Real          Week 5 Term 2

This fortnight our focus is on kindness. 

Jesus was the epitome of kindness, for example: helping children, the sick, the poor and the excluded. The intention is to be inspired by his actions then explore and discover how we discover that kindness creates more kindness. Kindness is contagious and brings joy to ALL.

“… for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and gave me clothing …” – Matthew 25:35-36, 40

Eucharist 2021

Please continue to pray for the children who are receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist on the 30th May at 11am. 

A big thank you to all the children from Years 2-6 who have volunteered to sing in our choir on the day, accompanied by Mrs Aldred. Your generosity, shows that you are really making Jesus Real. 

 

Please Note: Change of date for Milo Mornings – apologies for the wrong date last week!
