               Mental Health Day- October 10th

This year, the theme is Mental Health begins with me!

People living with mental health challenges, are no less members of the Body of Christ than anyone else. Obviously there are particular challenges to enabling their full participation in the life of the community. Some of these challenges are visible and many others not so clearly identified. Once we acknowledge these challenges we can work together to ensure that all the gifts that flow through the Body of Christ can be shared by each member of that Body. It is also a reminder to look after our own well-being, especially our spiritual well-being. How are we nourishing our well-being through our spirituality?

Sacramental Program Dates 2020

 Families with Sacramental journals at home are invited to return them to school over the coming weeks. Father Albert has been extremely happy with families commitment with attending mass to allow students to be more comfortable and knowledgeable about the mass leading up to each sacrament.

The dates below are proposed for 2020 and are our preferred dates which may change but going on this year's experience they are most likely to stay as is. If you have any questions please see me at school or email pmcdowell@olscwyn.catholic.edu.au
