Religious Dimension
As we reach the end of the school year, we also move through the final weeks of Advent—a time that invites us to slow down, reflect and prepare for the Christmas season. It is a meaningful way to conclude a busy and rewarding year in our school community.
The Third Week of Advent focuses on joy. Across the school, students have taken time to reflect on what brings joy to their lives—connection, friendship, gratitude and moments of celebration. As the year draws to a close, this sense of joy is evident in the many achievements, growth and positive relationships that have been built throughout the year.
The Fourth Week of Advent centres on love. This week encourages us to think about how we care for and support one another, particularly during times of change and transition. It is a reminder of the importance of kindness, empathy and being present for those around us—values that sit at the heart of our school community.
As families prepare for the Christmas holidays, I wish everyone a safe, restful and joyful Christmas break. May this time provide opportunities to slow down, reconnect with loved ones and enjoy time together. Thank you for the ongoing support you give our school and for the role you play in nurturing a caring and inclusive community.
