Principal’s Report

Advent

This Sunday signals the beginning of Advent; the time we prepare for Christ to come into our lives. This week the prayer cloths were changed to purple and Advent wreaths (with candles) were placed in each room. Here is a clip about Advent: https://youtu.be/eC0FGQLBp7w

Week 1 - Advent Prayer of Hope

Christ our Hope, Shine in our lives with hope and promise.

Open our eyes to see you in others.

Help us to be people of hope. We await your coming with gratitude.

Amen

Gr 5 - Just Leaders Day

Friday 29th November some of our grade 5 students will attend the Caritas Australia Just Leaders Day. Caritas Australia runs Just Leadership Days to engage students with social justice issues and encourage them to be just leaders in their schools and communities for local and global change. At Caritas Australia, it is believed that it is the belief that modifying structures that cause poverty requires personal transformation first. Just Leadership Days are one of the core education components. The purpose of Just Leadership Days is to enable students to challenge injustices and to develop the leadership qualities to encourage others to do the same.
