A Special Blessing
During the week Rev Deacon Malcolm came to each class to how they had chosen to decorate their prayer cloth and class cross. The students were so articulate in describing the meaning and process to Deacon Malcolm. He blessed the cloths and crosses with some Holy Water and said a special blessing for each class.
Caritas Friday
Our first Caritas Friday was an absolute success!! Thank you to everyone for taking part in our first fundraiser, we raised a total of $270.40! We saw so many funky hairstyles out in the yard and the money that was donated will make such a difference to many.
Information for upcoming Caritas Friday events. Students bring a gold coin if participating. Flyers will be sent in the mail to the eldest child as a reminder!

LENTEN ACTIONS
As we are journeying through Lent the themes of prayer, fasting and almsgiving are a part of our learning and conversations here at school. Here are some Lenten Actions you can take as a family at home.
| Prep | Decide on something you could all do perhaps as a family, to help other people during Lent. |
| Year One/Two | Ask your child to share the Our Father prayer with you. Perhaps you could agree on a daily good deed during Lent. |
| Year Three/Four | Ask your child to tell you what Lent is about and perhaps to teach you the Act of Contrition (sorry prayer). |
| Year Five/Six | Give your child an opportunity to talk to you about how they are preparing for Easter. What could you do as a family to grow closer to God? Is there a time when you might like to pray together? |
