Reconciliation

Thank you to all of the parents who have been bringing their child to Reconciliation workshops.  We have just completed Week 2 of workshops, with two more weeks remaining.  

Please remember to only complete the Home Activity with your child and the worksheets for that week’s workshops will be completed together at the workshop.  be on time to the workshops. This is your time to have a conversation with your child and to share your memories to help them make connections to their initiation into God’s family.

Workshops are held in the Year 6 classrooms.

Feast of the Annunciation

Next Tuesday is the Feast of the Annunciation, which is the time that Mary was visited by the Angel Gabriel and she said Yes to God. This is also our school’s feast day as the Annunciation took place in Nazareth. 

We will begin our feast day celebrations with a whole school mass at 9am and all families are warmly welcomed to join us. We will have classroom learning and activities that day around the meaning of the feast day and the day will conclude with a sausage sizzle cooked by Mr Downes and Mr Edwards.

Students are able to come in mufti on that day and, for the privilege, are asked to bring a donation to be placed into their Project Compassion boxes on their prayer table in their classrooms. Please remember we will be attending mass and students’ dress needs to reflect the respectful space we are in.

Mass with the Bishop

Next Friday our Bishop Brian Mascord will be saying mass for students in Years 3-6 from Nazareth, Stella Maris and Corpus Christi. Mass begins at 11am and it will be a completely full church. Bishop Brian will celebrate afternoon tea with the teachers after school on Friday.

Wednesday Faith & Learning 

This week students from Year 3 celebrated their Faith and Learning visits and it is so wonderful to see how many parents attend mass and then come back to the classroom. On Wednesday in Week 9, Year 2 students will have their Faith and Learning visit at 9am and all parents are invited back to the classroom to have the opportunity to see what their child is learning in their classroom.
