We are almost to the end of this term! The rain has been such a welcome relief, our prayers have been answered.  Last weekend’s Gospel reminds us how important our prayers are.  We need to keep the well-being of all citizens in our prayers, civil leaders as well that they act justly in their work for the broader human society.

A reminder that we will celebrate our writing publication with a Mass at 12:00 noon with Miss Buckmaster and the 2/3/4 Class this Thursday 26^th September.  The children will be showcasing their writing publications to the school community. Bring your sandwich and join us on the oval for a picnic lunch.

Seasons of Growth is a programme for children, young people or adults who have experienced significant change or loss in their lives.  The feelings centred around change are normal and are often fought against as we don’t realise that they are normal.  If you are interested in your child being part of this program could you contact the school for further information.

Thank you to parents who have indicated they would like to know more about this program.  I will be in touch with you this week.

We have some exciting activities for Mission Month nearly next term.  Does your child have a  plain white t-shirt that I can have to dye during the school break?  If they do please send it in with your child’s name on it before the end of term.

I hope you all have a well earned break from the routine of the term.  I am spending most of my mine with my grandchildren; see you Thursday at 12:00 noon.

We continue to bloom and grow at St. Marys
