Ash Wednesday and Lent

Next Wednesday, March 2nd, is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. Ash Wednesday is named after the ritual of placing blessed ashes on the foreheads of the faithful and is a sign for those who desire to repent. Ash Wednesday Masses are  simple but solemn services. As a school community, we will have a school Ash Wednesday Mass at 12pm. Family and friends are invited to attend. 

The season of Lent lasts for a period of forty days beginning on Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the Easter Vigil Mass. During Lent, Catholics take time for self reflection and help those in need. They do this through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Over the season of Lent, in classes and at whole school Liturgies, students will develop knowledge of these three areas. I encourage you to speak with your child/ren about this important Catholic season and what they are learning about Lent. 

Beginning of Year Mass and Commissioning of Year 6 Leaders

With the easing of Covid-19 restrictions we are now able to come together as a school community to celebrate the 2022 school year. We will celebrate with a whole school Mass on Wednesday, March 9, at 11am. Directly following the Mass we will commission our 2022 School and Vice captains and our Year Six leadership teams. There will also be a special blessing for our new Kinder students and students who are new to the school. Parents and friends are invited to join us.
