The St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal will finish up tomorrow (Friday). Thank you to everyone in the school commuity who has been able to donate goods to assist those in need in our local community this winter.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Year 6 Social Justice Leaders (Kip, Annie & Aarit) for all of there hard work and dedication to this appeal. They have been well supported by all of the Social Justice Reps from across the school!

Gospel Reflection - Sunday 18th June
Gospel Reading
Jesus sends the twelve apostles to proclaim the kingdom of heaven.
Family Connection
Every person in the Church is sent by Christ to do the work that he did. This task can seem daunting. Yet when we have learned to work together with others to achieve a common goal, we have learned something of what it means to do the work of Christ. The family is one such place in which we work with others, sharing a common task and a common goal.
As family members gather, invite each person to reflect upon their contributions to family life. Invite each one to share one or two things that they do to help keep your family life flowing smoothly. Take time to thank one another for the contributions each person makes to your family life.
Invite a family member to read aloud today's Gospel, Matthew 9:36-10:8. In this Gospel, Jesus sends the disciples to proclaim the kingdom of heaven. Point out that the disciples are called to work together just as family members must work together. Pray together that your family will always work together as a family to help one another. Pray that your family can be a model for other families.
Pray together the Lord's Prayer.
Thanks
