Year 1 Prayer Boxes

Mia Coleman's prayer space!
Mia Coleman's prayer space!

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to use the prayer boxes that are going home each week in Year 1. I have loved looking at the drawings and prayers that our beautiful families are taking the time to write. I have also been very excited to hear how many of our students are setting up prayer spaces in their own homes so that they can keep going once they have returned the boxes to school.

Prayer boxes are sent home to three families in each class every Tuesday. These boxes need to be returned the following Monday so that they can be refreshed and sent out again the following day. I would be very grateful if you could return the prayer boxes on time.

Year 4-6 Sleepout - Friday 15 September!

Please join us for a homeless awareness night exclusively for Year 4-6 students! Together we will make a difference to the homeless community in Sydney by creating snack and toiletry packs.

To help students fully comprehend the challenges faced by the homeless, we will spend time outside in the cold. Please wear warm clothing and bring along sheets of cardboard or a sleeping bag. 

This interactive event will be held in the library, starting promptly at 6.00pm and ending at 8.00pm. Students must be accompanied by an adult guardian throughout the event. This will ensure a safe sand meaningful experience for all participants. We kindly request that no younger siblings attend to uphold the focused nature of the event.
