COMMISSIONING MASS

We welcomed our new Principal, Paul Sharp, into the wider parish community on Friday, 5 May, at the Parish Mass.       Fr John Prince commissioned Paul into his new Principal role and blessed him as he undertook this important work. 

We pray for Paul as he lives out the mission entrusted to him of working with all the staff to provide the best Catholic education possible for the children at Holy Family.

" It was wonderful to feel part of the connected school and parish community", Mr Paul Sharp. 

YEAR 6 STUDENT LEADER COMMISSIONING

Congratulations to Petar, Goai, Lorianne, Jessica, Richelle, Blaze, Mercy and Bhelissa, who were also commissioned at this Mass by Fr. John Prince. The students were presented with their leadership badges and given a special blessing as they embark on collaboratively leading our school for 2023. 

“I was really nervous going up there in front of everyone, but after a while, I got used to it, and it was kind of fun. Also, because my mum was there.” Blaze

"I felt brave and strong to get my leadership badge in front of everyone. When I did my reading, I felt confident going through me” Lorianne

"I felt really happy and proud of myself. It reminded me of when my sister became a leader” Richelle

"I felt very excited when I got my badge because I am very proud that I was chosen to be a leader” Bhelissa

YEAR 6 JUMPER PRESENTATION

Our Year 6 students were very proud to be presented with their special Year 6 bomber jackets at the Commissioning Mass. They will come in especially handy with the cold weather! 

I hope the students wear these jumpers with pride as they have reached a wonderful milestone in their primary school journey. We pray they have a final year at Holy Family filled with many happy memories that they will take with them. 

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION

We currently have six Year 4 students who are preparing to make their First Reconciliation, next Thursday, 25 May.

Please pray for Dominic, Ella, Gwen, Wiktoria, Annastashia and Reshan as they prepare to to receive God's loving forgiveness through this wonderful sacrament.

RECONCILIATION FAMILY WORKSHOP

As part of the preparation for this Sacrament, the children attended a Reconciliation Workshop with their families. The students also had an opportunity to get to know the children from the Parish who will be celebrating this sacrament with them.

"It was very interesting to learn about the sacrament of Reconciliation",Anna

"I was nervous when Father asked us questions, but it was really fun"Ella.

"It was nice for my parents to come to my First Reconciliation Workshop because we learned a lot about the Sacrament" - Wiktoria.
