Welcome to Week 3
Dear families and carers,
Yesterday, we celebrated the Feast of the Transfiguration, a moment in the Gospels when Jesus, standing on a mountain with Peter, James, and John, is transfigured before them. His face shines like the sun, and his clothes become dazzling white, revealing His divine nature and affirming His role as the Son of God.
For us today, this powerful event is a reminder of the importance of faith, hope, love and the possibility of transformation in our own lives. Just as Jesus was revealed in glory, we are called to recognise the light of Christ within ourselves and others, especially in the ordinary moments of life.
The Transfiguration also reminds us that change and growth often come from moments of stillness, reflection, and connection with God. In the midst of our busy lives, it is in those quiet "mountain-top" moments, through prayer, acts of kindness, or deep listening that we are invited to encounter something greater.
As a school community, we celebrated our feast day with a spirit of joy and unity. Coming together with Sts Peter and Paul’s for buddy activities, Mass and a shared lunch. May this celebration inspire us all to be open to the light of Christ and to reflect that light in our words, actions, and relationships each day.
A message from Mrs Brearley
To all the Holy Trinity parents and carers, thank you so much firstly for the great trust you gave me, hopefully knowing that everything I did, and every decision made always had your children at the centre. Thank you for your constant support, honesty and care. I would especially like to thank those who worked tirelessly perhaps on the P and F, The school Board, the now Community Council or many other volunteer roles, whether seen or unseen, thank you. Thank you also so so much for the incredibly thoughtful and special gifts you presented me at my recent farewell assembly. Thank you for the commissioned stained-glass cross created by a local artist, the Holy Trinity wine, the Monstera plant, all so beautiful!! However, the most touching and precious gift was the published booklet from families- I have not been able to read through the whole book yet as I keep crying each time I read some of it!! This is definitely something I will treasure always. To say goodbye to the most incredible community of people that I have had the privilege of sharing my life with for the last 8 and a half years has been hard and honestly thank you does not seem enough. Please know that being the Principal of Holy Trinity has given me utter joy and fulfilment, and I will never forget the significant positive impact you and your beautiful families have all had on my life, thank you.
Hats
Hats are back in August, as the UV rating increases we need all students to be wearing their hats during break times and sport lessons. Please check your child's hat has a clearly marked name so it can be returned to the appropriate class if it is miss placed.
Together in faith and learning,
