PRAYER
Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness,
send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do and
seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day,
We who are anxious over many things
look forward to your coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long
for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy
seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness,
yet seeking the light.
To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus!'
From the Principal
Dear Families,
The season of Advent begins on Sunday. With the focus of hope being the theme for this first week we are reminded to reflect not just on the historical events of this time, but to prepare our hearts to receive Jesus into the world.
During Religious Education, students will learn that Advent is a time of waiting and preparing as they engage in the texts of the Old Testament. They will learn about the symbolism of God’s presence and God’s love in story.
The season of Advent will be the focus of our final assemblies for the year, as indicated in the timetable below. As always, everyone is invited to join us for assembly.
School Advisory Council Annual General Meeting
Last night the School Advisory Council sat for the final meeting for 2024 and for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). I take this opportunity to thank the six parents who have been members of the School Advisory Council (SAC) this year. Special thanks to Armilla who informed us last night that she was stepping down at the end of this year. Armilla’s contribution to the school has spanned eight years. She was a member of the Parish Education Board for four years, and the SAC for four years. A call for new members will be made early in 2025.

| Date | Class |

Fire Rescue Victoria - Fire Education
P/1 were once again lucky to be visited by our fantastic firefighters from Nunawading Fire Station. We were able to see inside a Fire Truck and have a turn at holding the Fire Hose.

We appreciate our families volunteering for cake raffle bringing joy to the children at assembly every week. The weekly cake raffle will be drawn at Assembly on Friday mornings.

All donations of baked goods require a list of ingredients attached.

Tuck Shop
Tuckshop is without a doubt the highlight of the week for the children. This would not be possible without our small team of committed volunteers showing up week after week.

Please reach out to Clara on 0449 767 020 or Angi on 0431 021 711 if you can help.
We appreciate your support.
