MOTHER’S DAY STALL
We are very excited to be holding our annual Mother’s Day Stall on Friday, 10th May. With over 370 students needing to visit the stall, we are asking students to bring in their money by Thursday 9th May. This will help us to streamline things and ensure everyone gets an opportunity to visit the stall. Unfortunately with our growing student numbers, we will no longer be able to take IOUs from students for purchasing gifts. All gifts are priced at $6. Any parents who are able to help set up or run the stall, are asked to contact the office.
SCHOOL CLOSURE DAY - FRIDAY, 24TH MAY
Our second closure day for 2024 will focus around Staff Wellbeing and Spirituality and will be held on Friday 24th May.
Parents needing child care on either of these school closure days are encouraged to contact Quantin Binnah soon, and register their interest. Quantin Binnah can be contacted on 9742 5040.
2024 SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION
An important aspect of preparing for any Sacrament is to attend Mass each weekend. Fr Albert is encouraging every child in the Parish of St Andrew’s who is preparing to celebrate a sacrament this year, to attend Mass regularly, to receive God’s abundant graces.
Children preparing for their First Confession, First Holy Communion or to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this year, have received a Mass Journal as part of their Sacramental preparation. The Journal is an easy way for families to record the Masses they attend throughout the year. Please remember to take a pen to Mass so the priest can sign your Journal for you at the end of Mass.
Below is a list of the Sacramental Dates for 2024, which includes the dates of Practise Nights and Parent Information Sessions:
ST JOHN THE APOSTLE COMMUNITY MASSES
Throughout the year we will be holding several weekend Masses, here in the school Hall. All families are warmly invited to attend these Masses. Please check the poster below for which months we will be holding a Mass.
SUBWAY LUNCH ORDERS
The school will continue our partnership with Subway this year. This initiative provides students with an opportunity to receive a ‘lunch order’, that families have ordered and paid for online, prior to the day. The Canteen Hub platform allows parents to place orders for student/s for the whole term.
Orders must be placed by 5pm the Wednesday prior.
