Catholic Identity

Creator God, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, as we walk together on your path of love, hope and faith.

Thank you for the gifts of our school, 

our environment, our families and friends.

May our school be a place of learning, care, welcome and celebration.

Mary our Mother, pray for us.

St Mary of the Cross, pray for us. 

Amen

This year’s theme for C.E.Sandhurst schools is

“Let the words you speak always be full of grace.”

As we continue to spread the Good News, we are called to be people of dialogue, 

using our words as instruments of love.

We will encourage those in our care to speak kindly to one another in the classroom, the playground, on the bus, in the car and at home.

                                      ZOOPER DOOPERS

Zooper Doopers will be available every Tuesday and Thursday. 

Cost is .50c (limit one per student per day).

Thank you to the 3/4 class for organising and proceeds will go to Mini Vinnies.

CARITAS FUNDRAISING

Last Friday students and staff  came dressed in their Pajamas to raise money for

Caritas. The weather was perfect to wear oodies and onsies.

  LENT

As we move into the 3rd Week of Lent let us remember to pray, fast and do almsgiving - give what you can to a charity that helps those less fortunate than us.

During the coming week your child / children will be coming home requesting gold coins for the Caritis fundraisers that each class will be leading. See school calendar.
