Wednesday May 26 is set aside as National Sorry Day and marks the day that the landmark ‘Bringing them Home’ report was tabled in federal parliament in 1997.It is a time for all of us to remember past government policies which caused trauma and pain to many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people. May 26 and the following week known as Reconciliation Week is a time to reflect then respond with appropriate action which will allow for positive steps forward towards true reconciliation. As noted on the National Reconciliation Week website… ‘We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.’ Nazareth School is very fortunate to have as staff member Mr Mark Mongta. Mr Mongta is an Aboriginal Education Support Officer and works at Nazareth on Wednesdays. Yesterday Mr Mongta spoke with many classes in relation to the importance of learning about National Reconciliation Week. Next week a number of Nazareth students will participate in the local schools day organised by Shellharbour Council and members of the local Aboriginal community.
Last Sunday the church celebrated Pentecost Sunday. This significant feast acknowledges the empowerment of the disciples to spread the Gospel of Jesus, so as to gather believers to form what would eventually become the Church. I encourage families to be actively involved in our local parish church. Refer to the details within the Newsletter in relation to Mass times at All Saints Church.
Enjoy the week ahead.

Travis - Pentecost is when the wind came to Jesus’ disciples and they were scared.
Jason - Pentecost is when the spirit is on their heads.
Ivy- The fire is on top of the disciples heads.
Hudson R - Jesus' disciples had fire on their hands and they told others to be good.
Due to work and family commitments Mrs Vanessa Orlandi has resigned from the position of P&F President. Over the last 6 years (3 years as President) Vanessa has made an outstanding contribution to the Nazareth P&F and on behalf of the school community I extend our sincere thanks to Vanessa.
For the remainder of this year I have asked Mrs Simone Ivanovski (current Vice-President) to fulfil the role of P&F President. I thank Simone for her preparedness to carry out this role.
Thank you to the parents and carers who assisted with the recently held Mother’s Day Stall. The stall was a great success and the children all loved the experience of buying a gift for their mother or for the special person in their life who fulfils the role of mother.
The next P&F Meeting will be June 8 commencing at 7:00pm in the school Library.
We are very excited for students to attend our 2021 School Athletics Carnival. We will again be holding the carnival at at John O'Dwyer Oval at Croome Road Sporting complex on Friday 11th June. More information will be sent out via Compass shortly.
We are looking for parent helpers to assist with athletic events running on the day (shot put, high jump, discus and long jump), assisting with age group supervision/support, ball games etc. Please contact the school office if you are able to assist.
This is for students in primary who have already signed up and been selected. More information about this event to come.
