Dear Families,

We had such a wonderful day last Thursday celebrating with our Grandparents and Special People who came along for some fun in classrooms, mass and morning tea. I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along and to Mrs Szkwarek who organised such a beautiful morning for our school community to share.

This week we have Crazy Socks Day, please remember to send children in with a gold coin for Catholic Missions. October is Mission Month and as a Catholic School Community, we endeavour to give to those in need where we can. Catholics believe this is carrying on the work of Jesus. In today’s world where many of us think of ourselves and how we can benefit from things, it is good to stop and remember how we can help others as we are called to serve others.

October is also the month of the Rosary. In assembly, I have been teaching the children a very simple prayer that is said as part of the Rosary:

Glory Be to the Father

And to the Son

And to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning,

Is now and ever shall be,

World without end

Amen

Have a wonderful week ahead,

Sally
