From the Principal

The end of the term is rapidly approaching and Easter will soon be upon us. 

This Sunday marks the 5th Sunday of Lent and we hear the story of Lazarus. This is the last story that John gives us in his Gospel about the ministry of Jesus. It is a story that reminds us of the power of faith even when everything seems to be beyond hope. 

Next Sunday see the beginning of Holy week and the triumphant entry of Jesus to Jerusalem. This leads us to the most important time in the Church year. The celebration of the Easter miracle.

Small Changes to the timetable next term.

Next term will see a minor change to our specialist timetable. 

The 4/5/6 classes will have their specialist times from 9:00am and the F/1, 1/2 and year 3 classes will move to after play time. This is so that the junior classes can make the most of the morning time for their literacy learning time.
