Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers
We remind everyone that this Friday 6 June there is NO SCHOOL for students. Staff will be participating in Professional Development. Then Monday 9 June is the King's Birthday Public Holiday, so there is NO SCHOOL on this day.
Camp Australia is providing care on Friday 6 June if it is required. We remind you to book in for this service if it is needed.
For those who are taking the opportunity of a long weekend to getaway - travel safe, keep warm and enjoy the memories made.
PENTECOST SUNDAY
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. This commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus (Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11). Pentecost is still important in the Catholic Church today because it represents the beginning of the Church. It reminds us how Jesus’ promise that God would send the Holy Spirit was fulfilled. The Holy Spirit filled the apostles with courage and faith, empowering them to share the Good News with others. They began to tell others about Jesus, and that he died for us and rose to new life. When we cannot see something, we often use symbols to help us explain and understand it. In the story of Pentecost we see the symbols of fire and wind being used to describe the Holy Spirit. Wind and fire are powerful and unstoppable, just as the Holy Spirit can be for us, giving us the courage and power to witness God in our own lives. In the story of the baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan, we are given the symbol of a dove to describe the Holy Spirit.
Thank you to our P&F group who organised our Music Bingo event last Friday night. Lots of fun was had by all and musical talent was on show. These functions are not only a fundraising opportunity for the school but also provide a chance to bring our parent/family community together.
