Dear Families,

Firstly, my apologies that the newsletter is a day late.

We had a wonderful time last week on Year 5/6 camp. The children got to experience many different activities that were both educational and fun. It’s always lovely to spend time with kids outside of school.

Last night, we held our Family Eucharist night for all students in Year 4. I thank everyone for taking time our of their busy schedules to come along and participate in this activity that highlights such an important part of our Catholic Tradition. Hopefully everyone went home with fully tummies from the pizza that we shared.

We have a number of children celebrating receiving the Eucharist for the first time on Sunday and in the coming weeks.

We pray for David Van Rossum, Hunter Yacoub, Billy Breheny, Eli Leary, Kingson Riess, Charlotte Fairbrother, Anne Ng and Tyler Phelines all making their First Communion in the coming weeks.

A Blessing Prayer

May God bless you always and may God’s goodness continue to shine on you.

May you grow closer to God and share God’s love and goodness with others.

And may you grow to be the people God wants you to be.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Remember we have our crazy socks day and Halloween Disco on Friday. Our crazy sock day is to raise money for the Catholic Mission in Timor Leste, so please bring along a gold coin donation.

Our P&F have been hard at work organising the disco, which should be wonderful fun for everyone.

Remember to keep raising money for the Colour Run – this is a new fundraiser the P&F have been working hard on this year and should be a great school community event. I am so appreciative of the good work the P&F at our school do.

We are always looking for new P&F members as well as School Advisory Committee members so please contact me at sdarby@churchill.catholic.edu.au if you would like to know more about being a part of these groups at the school.

Have a wonderful week ahead,

Sally
