As we continue the season of Lent, we are invited to consider the ways in which we prepare for the greatest time of the Church year - Easter. Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and for doing so with quiet humility. It is a time for us to practice good habits and to become more Christ-like in our interactions with others and with our world. All students at Nazareth are learning about Lent in their Religious Education lessons. I invite you to engage in conversations with your child/ren so that they can share their knowledge with you, and to share time in prayer with your child during Lent, perhaps in attendance at one of the Masses at All Saints Church:

Our Stage 3 Leadership Teams have been selected and the students have commenced their various roles. Our School Spirit Team did an outstanding job guiding school tours last week and will continue these tours until the end of March. The Environment Team led the school in our Clean Up Nazareth Day last week and the Sports Team does amazing work to ensure that sport equipment is ready for the children to play with each day. The students in these teams have accepted these leadership roles to support the smooth running of our school community, and we are very grateful for their enthusiasm and dedication.

I extend congratulations to all of the students who have recently trialled for representative sport, those who have been selected for representative sport, and to those who have recently competed in the Primary South Coast Region Swimming Carnival. Their love of sport and dedication to training and preparation is inspiring. In

Faith and Learning
