WEEK NINE
Amazing – end of the year.
With a heavy heart I will say goodbye to my year 6 students, it never
get’s easier to say “all the best” even knowing God will be with them still
makes my heart skip a beat and many tears. To the year
5’s step up and take the challenges next year.
As you would have heard by now next year I will be teaching year 3’s and
4’s next year – I really look forward to the challenge. I wish you all a Blessed and happy Christmas and New Year xxx Mrs Rush

Please keep Fr Mark in your prayers, he has prostrate cancer (a reminder to all our dad's to go and get checked) - The same week his mum and sister got some medical results - his sister's diagnosis is not as good as his, so please keep them in your prayers.
Mr Underwood (Willam - year 4's) dad passed away last week after suffering from a brain tumor. Also sad to hear last night Michelle McIntyre and Paula Mellors Father suddenly died yesterday.
Fr Mark today in his homily talked about doing all you do for the Glory of God, so that will be the class focus this week.

Students are invited to bring a piece of fruit or raw vegetable to the collection box (outside the hall by the Junior Playground) before school on Friday. Some of the parents on the Health Promoting Schools team will then prepare the fruit and veges for shared platters which will be available outside the hall at morning tea time.
