Pentecost

As a Church, we celebrated Pentecost last Sunday. Pentecost marks the end of the Easter season. It is a memorial of the day the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the Virgin Mary in the form of fiery tongues, an event that took place fifty days after the Resurrection of Jesus. 

The Scriptures remind us that Pentecost is the gift of the Holy Spirit and is something to be shared with others and moves us to action and to spread the Good News to all we encounter.

Congratulations!

We congratulate Ms Maxfield and her family on the joyous news of the safe arrival of their beautiful baby Elena! Everyone is doing well and we look forward to having them visit our school when Elena is a little older. We know you all continue to keep them in their prayers as they enjoy these precious early days!  

Year 6 went to Canberra last week and had a wonderful time visiting places like Parliament House, the War Memorial, National Art Gallery, The Australian Museum and Questacon to name a few. They were a credit to you all in the way they behaved and let their teachers get some sleep! I am very grateful to Ms Ferderer, Ms Florio, Mr Sajdovski and Ms Namrood for giving up their own time to enable the students to have these special experiences they will remember for the rest of their lives. I know you are too.

Weather Update

With the very cold weather feel free to allow your children to wear gloves, scarves and beanies to school if you wish. They do not need to be in school colors. The children take them off when they go into the warm classrooms so having their name on them would be helpful. They still need their school hats for playtime because beanies don’t provide sun protection.
