On Wednesday 26 April, the whole school took part in an ANZAC ceremony run by our 5/6 class. This helped our students understand the significance of the day and the history behind it. The 5/6 students shared stories of Gallipoli and the Ode of Remembrance and the Last Post. The ceremony finished with the National Anthem. The Prep and 5/6 students talked about the meaning of ANZAC Day and made poppies together last Wednesday.  

Easter Raffle On Monday 3rd of April, we conducted our annual Easter raffle. There were 16 prizes in total and all students were given five raffle tickets. Each prize was a separate raffle and students chose how to distrubute their raffle tickets. Some spread their tickets across five raffles while some chose to put all five tickets into one raffle. It was lots of fun. Thanks to everyone for donating the chocolates and to the Parents' Association for organising and wrapping the prizes. Easter Liturgy On Wednesday 5th of April, students took part in an Easter Liturgy. Each class reenacted one of the Holy Week events. Holy Week is the final week of Lent, and is the most important and significant week of the Catholic calendar. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before the celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection on Easter Sunday. It’s an important week of prayer, reflection, and gratitude as we contemplate the agony Jesus endured for us and the hope of the Resurrection.   Easter Egg Hunt The fun continued  with the Easter Egg Hunt. Each class had to find chocolate eggs their teachers had hidden in the yard. The eggs were then distrubuted amongst all the children. Stay safe and enjoy the Easter break!

On Wednesday evening 29th of March, some of our Year 3 students took part in the sacrament of Reconciliation at Holy Savior Parish Church. In this Sacrament, through the Ministry of the Priest, God forgives the sins of those who confess them and reconciles them to Himself and the whole Christian Community. By expressing our sorrow for our sin in the Sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation, we experience forgiveness and healing. Our relationship with God and our unity as Church is made whole again. In preparation for this sacrament, students reflected on times when they have not done the right thing or upset others. They also thought about how they could be better people and repair damaged relationships. Thanks to Miss Mangone for overseeing the preparation of the students for the sacrament, as well as the running the evening. Congratulations David Fernando, Naomi Thomas, Sophie Desperles, and David Dela Cruz.
