Dear Parents and Caregivers,

October is the month of the Rosary, a Catholic devotional prayer associated with Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Rosary is the story of the New Testament. Each decade is recited in honour of a Mystery in Our Lord’s Life and that of His Blessed Mother. The Church asks us to regularly pray the Rosary, as our prayers made in union with Mary, can obtain the great gift of conversion of hearts and peace throughout the world. 

Dear God, 

Help us to always take time to reflect on our lives and to regularly pray to you. Help us to embrace the Rosary as a special prayer to Mary and a specific way of reflecting on the events of her life with Jesus. By doing so we can add sense and meaning to our own lives.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, AMEN.

I would like to welcome back staff, students and parents to Term 4. It is amazing to think that we are less than ten weeks away from the Christmas holidays. Where has this year gone? I trust that all the children enjoyed their holiday and had a chance to spend time with family and friends, enjoying the wonderful weather.

I conclude my three week block at Nazareth tomorrow as Relieving Principal and the experience has been so positive. I have come to know what a dynamic, happy school it is, filled with students who are respectful and strive to do their best and staff who work tirelessly to support the children and their families in any possible way. I know the school community will warmly welcome back Mrs Tyson and we hope that she has had an exciting, yet relaxing break. Thanks for your support and warm welcome and I wish everyone a great end to the school year.
