Dear Prep, Year One and Year Two families, 

We invite you and your child/children to our upcoming Family Faith Night on Wednesday 12th March from 6-7pm at St Mary's Primary School called Prayers in Pyjamas. This event is an opportunity for students and their families to connect with each other and with the love of God. It is an important part of their faith journey at school and understanding how we can best love Jesus, others and ourselves. As the family is where faith is most fostered we encourage you to come and explore your own faith journey as the primary educators of your children through their faith life. We ask that you arrive with your child and meet in the Prep classroom just before 6pm. The children can wear either pyjamas or relaxed casual attire. 

The night will involve: 

    Prayer and song together 

    Scripture Story Telling (Godly Play)

    Reflection using Art and the opportunity to ask Father Jerome questions 

    Concluding with a Prayer together.

We look forward to seeing you there! 

Kind regards, 

Mrs Ferrari, Mr Millane, Mrs Borgese, Miss Raffaele and Miss Jacquie

Season of Lent (Beginning with Ash Wednesday 5 March 2025)

This Lent, don’t forget about Easter! 

The season of Lent is a time of Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving but it isn’t always very simple. Fr Michael Buck, a young Priest, gives tips on how we can have a more fruitful Lenten season.
