From the Principal
Dear Families,
We are getting ready for a busy end of the term here at Lumen Christi.
Although this week is officially Book Week, we will celebrate next week with a dress up day on Friday (2nd September). Students are encouraged to dress up as their favourite book character. We encourage families to try and use items already in their home rather than going out and buying anything special.
We also have our Father’s Day Stall next Thursday and our Father’s Day breakfast and liturgy.
We had our basketball teams play in the basketball competition last week. Both of our boys’ and girls’ teams represented our school beautifully, showing respect to the other players and resilience against some strong opposition. Thanks to Mr Watson and Joey Watson for organising and coaching on the day. I managed to pop down to the Leisure Centre in Churchill to watch some of the games, I was really impressed with how well we were playing as a team. Well done to everyone involved.
Sacrament News from Mrs Savige:
On Thursday evening we held our first Eucharist Workshop in the school Library. It was wonderful to see 12 families joining together to guide and support their child in making this special Sacrament. The Sacrament of Eucharist will be celebrated on Sunday the 16th of October at the Lumen Christi Church.
Prayer of blessing:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The Rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of His Hand.
For those who are following the footy, we have some very happy Collingwood supporter teachers here at school this week. Another nail biter of a game for the Magpies. Good luck to all the teams as we head into the finals.
Have a wonderful week ahead,
Sally
