An Invitation to Twilight Prayer

All parents and grandparents are invited to join the staff in a twilight prayer reflection run by the CSO Renewal team. This will occur on Thursday 8th November at 3:30 in the staff room. Please RSVP to Mrs Flynn by Wednesday 7th November if you would like to attend.

Catholic Mission Fundraising

This year as part of our annual fundraising for Catholic Mission we have decided that all proceeds raised will remain in Australia to support the drought relief. In past years our donations have gone overseas to aid countries in need however this year St Mary's has decided that our farming communities need our extra support. All classes now have a money box where students can place donations. These coins will then contribute to the class coin line with a small class prize for the longest class line.

On Thursday 8th November instead of our usual Silly Sox day we will be having a "Boots and Hats" day where students can come in their favorite boots and wear a wide brimmed hat. As Year 4 are going to Dumaresq Dam on this day, please only send your Year 4 child with a hat, not boots.  We are asking for a gold coin donation.

The coin line will also be completed on this day so feel free to send in all those coins you have lying around the house and in the car.

We look forward to your support with this event.

Jacaranda Social Club

Last Friday the Mini Vinnie's students visited the Jacaranda Social Club. This is run by the Home Nursing group and offers a variety of activities designed to promote positive interaction and to meet client's physical needs. Our students went along with games to play and books to read. They were a credit to our school striking up conversations with the elderly clients and playing games with them. The hour went by very quickly and we are looking forward to our next visit on Friday 23rd November.

Immaculata Team

This week the Immaculata Community sent out a team to visit our Parish and they have been in to visit our school Monday and again today. The Immaculatta Community are a community in Tasmania, made up of Sisters, Brothers and Lay members, who seek holiness and to foster spiritual renewal through Adoration, prayer and faith formation, with a particular devotion to Mary. The team visited all class groups running programs specific to each grade. Stage 3 joined together on Monday afternoon to join the team in the Chapel for children's Adoration.

Family Mass 

We send out a big invitation to all our families to join the staff at Mass this Sunday at 10am. We ask that families bring along a plate of food to share at morning tea, after  Mass.
