Principal Reflections

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we wrap up another busy and rewarding term, I would like to sincerely thank our students, staff and families for making Term 2 such a wonderful success.

This term has been filled with wonderful learning opportunities, including Catholic Schools Week, our Athletics Carnival, NAIDOC celebrations, First Eucharist preparations, excursions, the Year 6 Asian Expo, and, very recently, our visit to the St Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition, which provided students with a meaningful opportunity to deepen their faith.

Thank you to our dedicated staff for your commitment and teamwork, and to our families for your continued partnership and support. Together, we continue to create a welcoming and caring learning community.

As we leave to enjoy the break with our families and friends, I would like to invite you to share the following St Carlo Acutis prayer with your families:

Millennial Saint of our Youth SAINT Carlo Acutis

O God our Father, 

We thank you for giving us, Carlo, 

a model of life for young people, 

and a message of love for all. 

You made him fall in love with your son Jesus, 

making the Eucharist his “highway to heaven.” 

You gave him Mary as a beloved mother, 

and you made him, through the Rosary, a cantor of her tenderness. 

Receive his prayer for us. 

Look above all upon the poor, whom he loved and assisted. 

Grant me too, through his intercession, 

the grace that I need (mention your intention). 

And make our joy full, raising Carlo among the saints of your Church, 

so that his smile shines again for us to the glory of your name. 

Amen.

I wish everyone a safe, restful and happy holiday break and look forward to welcoming you all back for another exciting term.

Keep smiling, 

Alison Hatton
