A SPECIAL THANK YOU

We at Our Lady's Primary School wish to send out a SPECIAL THANK YOU to our families and students for the amazing amount of donations that were raised for the St. Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. All the items have been shared amongst people in need and this photo only shows a small fraction of what we received.

Our community demonstrates the amazing union of joy, hope and love we have for one another and others in our world. This is the true spirit of Christmas.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Social Justice Leaders of 2025:

These charismatic and passionate leaders have created opportunities for the vision and mission of our school to shine brightly. They have promoted the Catholic Social Teachings that make working, learning and belonging to a Catholic School unique, special and important. They have left big shoes to fill for our 2026 leaders.

THANK YOU!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear Heavenly Father,

thank You for Christmas! 

It's the special time when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The Holy Family—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—found a cozy place in the stable, and angels sang songs of joy.

Please bless all our students and their families this Christmas. 

Give them rest so they can relax, play games, and feel peaceful like the shepherds resting under the stars.

Fill our homes with love—big hugs, sharing toys, and being kind to everyone, like Mary cared for baby Jesus. Let us have lots of laughter, giggling with siblings, cousins and friends, creating new stories and joyful noises that sound like the angels celebrating!

As we say "Merry Christmas" to each other, keep us safe and close together. 

Help us shine Your light at school and home.

We ask this through Jesus, our best friend.

Amen.
