Feast of Christ the King - Sunday 24 November

As we approach the end of the Liturgical Year, we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. This special day, observed on the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar, honours Jesus Christ as the King of the Universe. It's a time for our school community to reflect on the teachings of Christ and the values of justice, compassion, integrity and hope that He embodies. Let us celebrate the reign of Christ the King as it reminds us to live out His teachings, being people of mission, in our daily lives.

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Vinnies are asking for your help this year to donate non-perishable food items to make up Christmas hampers. In order for St. Vinnies to create as many Christmas food hampers as possible, items have been split throughout the school. In each classroom a basket is located near the prayer space to receive donations. Donations will be presented to the local St Vinnies members on Wednesday 11th December.

I would also like to ask you to consider contributing to the Parish Christmas Giving Tree. The Mini Vinnies have made labels for the Parish Christmas Tree (In the foyer of our Church). You are invited to take a tag and purchase a gift for a person described on the label, then wrap the gift and place it under the tree prior to Christmas. These gifts are generously given to members of our own local community in need this Christmas.

Thank you for your generosity.

Advent Liturgies

As we enter the festive season, it's time to embark on the Season of Advent, a period of joyful anticipation and reflection. During these four weeks leading up to Christmas, our students will engage in special prayers, activities, and traditions that focus on preparing our hearts for the birth of Jesus. Advent is a time of hope, love, joy, and peace, and we look forward to celebrating this special season as a school community.

You are invited to join us as we acknowledge Advent with three special Monday morning prayer services. 

Monday 2 December 8:50am -- Lead by Year 5 and 6

Monday 9 December 8:50am -- Lead by Year 3 and 4

Monday 16 December 8:50 -- Lead by Kindergarten, Year 1 and 2

Remembrance Day Prayer Service

Thank you to the parents who were able to join us for our Remembrance Day Prayer Service on November 11. The students and staff reflected upon the sacrifices made by all those who have served in conflict and wars. Our Remembrance Day Service was a special time for us to pause, pray and remember. Thank you to all of the students who assisted with leading us. Some of our school leaders also represented our school at the community service at Charles Harper Park.
