OUR FAITH
PRAYER
Loving God,
We are called to remember the past- all those who lost their lives in the course of wars, the horror they endured, the determination they displayed to defend the values we hold so dear, the sacrifices they made so that we may enjoy lasting peace.
Lord in your Mercy, hear our prayer.
Amen
We pray ...
for..... all those who have died in war and conflict; all those who serve our country in war to protect the freedom and rights of others, Miss Jess Harris and Ian McNeil upon the announcement of their engagement

Remembrance Day - 11th November
Remembrance Day – a day when we reflect and give thanks for the sacrifices made by so many in times of war and conflict. We will be gathering together as a school community at a morning assembly on Monday to spend time in reflection and prayer, and to play the Last Post and say the Ode of Remembrance to coincide with the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month. Lest we forget.
FAMILY MASSES
Our last Family Mass for the year will be celebrated on Sunday 1st December (Yr2 and Yr 4 families) at St Nicholas Church at 9.30a.m.
These Masses are an opportunity for our School community to come together with our Parish Community to celebrate and to share a ‘cuppa ‘and morning tea afterwards.
REAL TALK - YEAR 4 AND YEAR 6
The REAL Talk team will facilitate workshops with our Year 4 and Year 6 students on Friday 8th November. It is important that parents are aware of what will be discussed with their child. Real Talk has therefore provided a link to the parent membership site. Access to all content is free and very beneficial. https://realtalkparents.com/primaryfreeyear
WHO IS REAL TALK? Real Talk provides seminars, reflection days and up-to-date resources to young people on topics relating to identity, eSafety, relationships, love, sex and marriage. They speak to over 30,000 students each year and provide resources to support children and their parents.
