Project Compassion - Thank you

Thank you to all the families who have been so generous in supporting Project Compassion this year. Next week we will forward our donation to Caritas Australia which will assist them to continue carrying out the work they do here in Australia and other parts of the world as they care for people in need.

Lenten Prayer

We pray for all who go out of their way

to bring God’s love to others,

especially to those most in need.

We pray in gratitude for the many partners

of Caritas Australia

who ensure our contributions

to Project Compassion

reach the places they are needed.

Amen

Holy Week Celebration

On Thursday 28th March our Year 5/6 students will re-enact the significant events of Holy Week at various locations around the school. Each class will visit each scene to view the events.

Families are welcome to join their children's class as they view the presentation however we ask that a prayerful silence is observed during the liturgy.

If you wish to follow the Holy Week story with your child’s class the approximate commencement times are:

12:00: Year Prep L and Prep N

12:05: Year 1/2K

12:10 Year 1/2L

12:15: Year 1/2V

12:20: Year 3/4K

12:25: Year 3/4P

12:30: Year 3/4S

The first scene, Palm Sunday, will take place on the Ormond Road playground.
