Dear Families,

Well, our first week back at school was a great success. All of the children have settled back into school routine, into their new classes and classrooms really well. It has been wonderful to touch base with our families and to welcome everyone back to school. The staff here at Lumen Christi have a couple of days here at school preparing for the return of students and it is very quiet onsite – schools come alive when there are children in them and that is why we are here.

This term in Religious Education, students will be learning about the bible story from Matthew 5:13-16 “Salt and Light”. We learn through this story about being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are starting the year linking this piece of scripture to our school name Lumen Christi which means “Light of Christ” and making links to how we can be the Light of Christ in the world today.

Our Parents and Friends group met yesterday morning to start organising and planning all of their fundraising events for the year. Thank you to those who came along and to our new parents who joined for the first time. Our school has such a great sense of community and the Parents and Friends do so much for the children, always thinking of thing that will be fun, engaging and that will benefit our kids. Thank you again and keep your eye on the school calendar section of the newsletter for upcoming events.

Have a wonderful week,

Sally
