CLASSROOM LEARNING SHOWCASE

Our Year 2 students this term have been learning about Stewardship and what it means to look after our environment. Through a deeper look into the Creation Story, they explored the different things we can look after in our world and created informative displays showcasing how they can be part a more sustainable and better world for the future! What an AMAZING effort!

SACRAMENT OF HOLY EUCHARIST

Our celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist will be Sunday June 2nd 2024. Here are a few reminders as you begin to prepare your family for this day:

Our celebration takes place at Our Lady's Church in Craigieburn, next to our School.
Mass begins at 2pm with students processing in with the celebrating priest
Students receiving their First Holy Eucharist are asked to dress formally as this is a very special occasion.
Families will be allocated half a row for immediate family (approximately 5-6 people including the child). Any invited guests should not take up another family's allocated seating and are limited to seating available without a reserved sign.
All guests attending the celebration are reminded that this is celebration takes place in a Sacred Space and a prayerful reverence and silence is expected during those times in the Mass.
Food, drink, photos and video are not permitted. We have our own photographer to capture these special moments.

With the Sacrament of First Eucharist just a week away, we look forward to our next Sacrament together as a School and Parish Community: CONFIRMATION.

All of which nourish and guide us to continue the Mission of the Church. How will you acknowledge the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in your life today?

May God bless you and keep you,
