News from our Family Educator - Ms Tracey Bowler

Happy School Holidays!

Wishing our OLF families a happy and safe holiday break.

I look forward to inviting you to more fun and faith filled events in Term 4.

It is going to be very busy but for now it is time to relax and spend quality time with your family.

Ignite Our Faith with Year 6 Volunteers

Another session of Ignite Our Faith had us all discussing moral dilemmas and sharing our opinions on what we would do in certain situations. This activity addressed issues related to peer pressure, personal values and morals which we try to emulate and also society’s expectations on individual behaviour. And again a pizza lunch was enjoyed by all!

Family Mass- Save the Date!

The next Family Mass is on 3rd November with Year 5 students invited to be active participants and welcome our Kindergarten 2025 students

Welcome 2025 Kindergarten Families

You are kindly invited to attend a Welcome 2025 Kindergarten Family Mass to be held on Sunday, 3rd November at 9.30am at Our Lady of Fatima Church. This Mass is to welcome you into the Parish school community. The families of Year 5 will lead us in prayer along with our Parish priest Father Julian.

Each 2025 Kindergarten child will receive a special prayer pack as a welcome gift and each family will receive a special blessing. I look forward to seeing you at this Mass to celebrate friendship and new beginnings.

Please Pray for Year 12 students

Recently I spent several hours with my Family Educator colleagues assembling the HSC prayer packs for the Year 12 St Aloysius students and last Monday six Year 6 students accompanied me to St Aloysius Church to give them out. Here we are at St Aloysius Church giving out the prayer packs with St Aloysius Kindergarten class. Due to privacy rules I couldn’t take photos of the Yr 12 students but suffice to say that they loved the prayer packs and demonstrated sincere gratitude!
