Dear Parents and Carers,

A heart-felt Happy Mother’s Day to the mums, step mums, grandmothers, great-grandmothers and special women in our school community. What an opportunity to celebrate, acknowledge and thank these amazing women for what they have done, and continue to do, especially during the past couple of months. Our staff wish you joy and peace on Sunday. 

Prayer for Mother’s Day

Lord, thank you for all mothers.

For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with babies in their arms.

For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life.

For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for their special vulnerable children.

For the patient ones, who always seek to forgive and engage with their children.

For the persistent ones, who cleverly find new ways to connect with their adult children.

For the mother aunts, who step in to care for nieces and nephews.

For all grandmas, who love and support their precious grandchildren.

For the foster mums who are called to gather and cover the fragile ones.

For the Sunday mums who care for children and lead them in faith.

Thank you Lord for all our beautiful mothers.

Help us to support them and keep them in our prayers.

May you bless them now on this their special day. 

Amen.

How is your family going?

Many families are struggling in various ways at this time. Areas of mild to severe distress can be felt as a sense of the loss of community, or from the loss of work, financial concerns, illness, or the challenge of working and home learning.

I encourage any family to reach out to the school for support. We have mechanisms in place for the pastoral care of our families. If the matter is of a personal or private nature, please email the office and ask for me or your child's teacher to call you.

Uniform

As we begin our transition back to school next week, it is timely to remind families of our Uniform Policy. We have high expectations in regards to uniform and personal grooming. We believe these expectations set the standard for the way in which we also behave and learn. 

We thank parents and carers for supporting these high expectations by ensuring your children wear their correct school uniform and appropriate hairstyles.
