Principal's Message

Dear Families

Last weekend our church celebrated Pentecost, the time when God's Holy Spirit came to Jesus' apostles. At this time, we pray for God's Holy Spirit...

Pentcost Prayer

Loving God,
On this joyful day of Pentecost,
we thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit—
our Comforter, our Guide, and our Strength.

As the disciples gathered together in unity,
may we, as families of this school,
grow together in faith, hope, and love.

Come, Holy Spirit,
fill our hearts and our homes with Your peace.
Help our children to grow in wisdom,
kindness, and courage,
just as the early Church grew through Your power.

Bless our teachers and staff,
our parents and carers,
and all who nurture the minds and hearts
of these young ones.

May our words be gentle,
our actions loving,
and our hearts always open to You.

Like the flame that danced above the disciples,
light a fire in us to share Your love with joy.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Recently a number of our students celebrated their First Holy Communion in our church.  We congratulate Evie & Billy Deppeler, Reuben McCartin, Lachlan Asmussen, Lola Carpinteri, Isabella Mencev and Charlie Harte. Reuben's sister, Claudia, also celebrated her First Holy Communion with us.

Storytime is back!

Building Project
We are commencing a building project in the coming weeks.  The project will extend the west wall of the old staff room, to make a new staff room with new staff toilets.  We will also add another student toilet. R.J. Lowe are our builders.  A fence will go up soon around the old staffroom.

Next week on Friday June 20 our Gr 3/4 are presenting their learning at our assembly at 3pm.  Everyone is welcome.

This is our new Pope. In the image, the pontiff appears smiling, dressed in the traditional white cassock and the gold pectoral cross he wore during his first greeting from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica after his election as the successor of Peter on May 8.

We pray for our new Pope and ask God to guide and bless him in his work.

May God continue to bless us and guide us in our learning.
