Rememberance Day
Yesterday we gathered as a school community to commemorate Rememberance Day. A warm thank you to the students and family members who led us beautifully! We also pay tribute to all service people in our community who were unable to attend. We were privileged to listen to a Commemorative Address by Patrick Heffernan (Claire T 5/6B step-father), who outlined to the students and community about the importance of rememebering those who have served our country over our short history. Those men and women have sacrficed many things for us so that we can live in a country where we have access to fresh water, healthy food, good housing, good education and more importantly the right for indivudal freedom. Our school includes a number of Defence families and we think of all those, especially those who are serving away from home.
Sacrament of First Eucharist
Thank you to all of the parents and students who joined our Zoom First Eucharist Formation session last night. I hope it was a nice way to conclude your preparation for the Sacrament.
A reminder that all parents can now select a time and day for their child to receive their First Eucharist, please use the link below:
