Dear Parents and Carers
Happy Father's Day 2021
For all the fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers
of our yesterdays and todays – and for those other special people who fill the role of fathers
and for the fathers of tomorrow who will soon be holding their very first newborn
we bring you especially into our prayers and hearts as we wish you a
Happy Father's Day.
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS
Thankyou to all who helped us celebrate Book Week. It was delightful seeing the special role many grandparents played in the video clips that were uploaded as part of our Book Week activities. Costumes abounded and people went to a lot of trouble so that children would not miss out on celebrating Book Week.
SCHOOL LEVIES
Once we are in a position to determine whether camps, excursions and swimming will be able to go ahead next term, we will be able to make an adjustment to the school levy in Term 4. Amounts will be credited to school fees once this is finalised.
SCHOOL REVIEW
In Term 4, the school will undergo a review as part of our regular School Improvement Cycle and as part of our Government Regulations. Covid restrictions permitting, there will be a group of four reviewers at school for three days. The report from the Review helps to form our Strategic Plan for the next four years.
Theme: St Joseph, earthly father of Jesus
Year of St Joseph
Pope Francis on December 8, 2020 published an Apostolic Letter Patris corde (With a Father’s Heart), commemorating the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of St Joseph”, running from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.
In his Apostolic Letter, Pope Francis describes Saint Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows.
