Advent
As we enter the second week of Advent we light a second purple candle on the second Sunday of Advent to represent the peace of Christ.
Advent Prayer of Peace
God of Hope, through this period of Advent, we pray that this time will be different.
This Christmas, may we be less rushed and more peaceful,
Less concerned about gifts and more about people,
Less preoccupied with events and more open to You and Your works.
May each of us be mindful of our actions, that they reflect our belief in hope and our desire to be to others as You would have us be.
Amen
School Staffing
The class teachers for the 2024 year have been set, with the students finding out yesterday who their teachers are during their Orientation session. This is a very anxious, yet exciting time, for both staff and students as they prepare to experience what 2024 holds for them. Managing the placement of students in classes for 2024 is a complex and time consuming process. What is assured is the genuine care and consideration the staff and school take for every student when placing them in classes for the following year, with the hope that they flourish and reach their full potential in all aspects of schooling.
Parents, you play an important role in ensuring you provide the hope and enthusiasm for the year to come for your child; having a positive attitude will help your child dismiss any concerns or worries they may have.
