Leadership Communication

Welcome Back to Term 4

What a beautiful start to the term, with the sun poking through a little more each day and our school once again filled with the smiles, laughter and energy of our wonderful learners! It has been lovely to see our children reconnecting with their friends, sharing holiday stories and settling back into the routines of learning.

There is something special about the beginning of a new term. It brings fresh opportunities to be curious, ask questions, challenge ourselves and celebrate all that we can achieve together. Across the school, our learners are beginning new inquiries in all multiple curriculum areas, building on their knowledge and exploring new ideas.

October – The Month of the Rosary 

Our Year 4 students began October in a particularly special way, welcoming members of the Legion of Mary from St Thomas the Apostle Parish to share the beauty, meaning and joy of praying the Rosary.

October is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary in the Catholic Church, making this a wonderful opportunity for our learners to deepen their understanding of this prayer tradition and its place in Catholic life.

As a parish school, we treasure these connections. There is something powerful about different generations coming together to share their faith, stories and traditions.

This is a beautiful example of Catholic Social Teaching in action, particularly the Call to Family, Community and Participation. Our children are reminded that they belong to a wider faith community, one in which everyone has something valuable to contribute.

We extend our sincere thanks to the members of the Legion of Mary for generously sharing their time and faith with our learners.

Looking Ahead

Term 4 is always a busy and exciting time in the life of our school. We look forward to our weekly parish Masses, opportunities to gather in prayer and celebration, and the many special events that bring our community together.

As we move towards Advent and Christmas, our Religious Education inquiries will invite children to explore Scripture, ask meaningful questions and consider how the message of Jesus continues to speak to our lives today. Save the date for our carols evening on Tuesday 1st December.

Thank you to our families for helping our children return ready for another wonderful term. 

We look forward to the learning, laughter, celebrations and moments of faith that lie ahead.

Here's to a fabulous final term together!
