PRAYER
O God, our ruler and guide,
in whose hands are the destinies of this and every nation.
We give you thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this land
and for those who laid down their lives to defend them.
We pray that we and all the people of Australia,
gratefully remembering their courage and their sacrifice,
may have grace to live in a spirit of justice, generosity, and peace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever,
Amen.
From the Principal
Dear Families,
With just six weeks to go until the end of the school year we have a range of opportunities between now and then to gather and celebrate.
Wednesday is Remembrance Day. We will observe a minute’s silence at 11.00am to give thanks for the sacrifice of others who fought for the freedoms we have today. We pray for peace in our world:
God’s work is peace. We ask for God’s peace in our world, we ask for God’s peace in our country, we ask for God’s peace in our hearts.
Thursday is Twilight Sports. Students are asked to assemble on the blue court at 4.45pm before they march to the oval for the opening of the sports. Thank you to the parents who have offered to help set up for the events and cook the barbeque on the night.
Our prep and grade one students will present the learning they have been doing in class, focusing on poetry, at assembly on Friday 20 November.
Monday 7 December, we have a whole school excursion to Twisted Ed in Moorabbin.
The P & F Committee are organising a school disco for Thursday 10 December.
All families are invited to our Advent Prayer Service on Monday 14 December at 2.30pm in the Fr Arnold Centre.
Warm regards,
Michelle Worcester
Principal

Tuck Shop
Tuckshop is open most Fridays, we are very fortunate to have our tuckshop run by parent volunteers for the students enjoyment. This would not be possible without our small team of committed volunteers showing up week after week.
Please reach out to Clara on 0449 767 020 or Angi on 0431 021 711 if you can help. We appreciate your support.
