Happy Week 8!
Faithful Foresters - New Chickens
Another genuine "THANK YOU" to our amazing school community. Donations from cans continue to roll in to go towards our Chicken Fund! How exciting for our Faithful Foresters Group! A grand total will be added into next fortnight's newsletter.
Stay tuned for news on our new arrivals!
Reconciliation
Congratulations to Phoebe, Millicent, Chantelle, Eddie, and Max, who recently made their First Reconciliation!
It was a truly wonderful evening as their families, parish members, and school staff joined together for a prayerful Reconciliation liturgy on Thursday, August 27th.
A heart-felt thank you goes out to their parents and carers, Father Kingsley, our dedicated parish catechists Miss Bernie and Luke, and Principal Amanda Sheridan for their continuous support and guidance in preparing the children for this sacred milestone.
This liturgy marks our final sacrament for the 2026 school year. Information regarding the 2027 sacramental programs for Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation will be shared with our community late in Term 4.
Father's Day - Brekky and Board Games
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Father’s Day Breakfast such a resounding success! It was fantastic to see over 50 dads, uncles, granddads, and special father figures join our students for a delicious bacon and egg sandwich, friendly board games, and plenty of fun out on the oval.
This event couldn't have happened without the incredible support of our community. We extend our sincere thanks to the Quirindi Dementia Support Group for kindly lending us a BBQ for the morning, the Turner family for their generous donation toward the event, and all the dads and volunteers who lent a hand moving heavy BBQs.
A massive thank you goes to our dedicated staff members who pitched in on the morning—some arriving as early as 6:30 AM to ensure everything was cooked and ready to go! We are truly blessed with an amazing team.
We hope all our fathers and father figures had a wonderful Father's Day weekend, making special memories and sharing good times with their families.
If you have any feedback to help us build on this success and incorporate your ideas into next year's events, please feel free to email smeade@arm.catholic.edu.au.
