FROM THE REC
Opening School Mass
Today we celebrated our Opening School Mass, inducted our school leader and welcomed our new Kindergarten students to the 2024 school year. With many family members and local parishioners attending, it was a wonderful celebration that brought together our school community and set a positive tone for the year ahead. Year 5/6 presented our Mass beautifully with Father Joe presiding.
It was a special way to begin our year and acknowledge a sense of belonging and unity among students, staff, and families.
Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday)
Next Tuesday, 13th of February will be Shrove Tuesday - the Tuesday before Lent begins where traditionally Chrisitan families would empty their fridges of rich foods (eggs, milk and sugar) in preparation for 40 days of fasting. A tradition that has altered over the generations but is still acknowledged in households all over the world.
Year 5/6 students and Miss Collins are going to have a turn in the kitchen and will be preparing pancakes for all students to enjoy at recess.
Ash Wednesday
Next Wednesday, 14th of February will mark the beginning of the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday liturgy in our St Mary’s church.
Our community is invited to join our liturgy at 12:30pm.
Have a wonderful week.
Amy Buckmaster - Religious Education Coordinator
