From the Principal

Mrs Fiona McAuliffe

As we come to the end of Term 1, we should reflect on sacrifices made. Sacrifice is a word that can carry a lot of weight, and it's something that we've all had to do at some point in our lives. Whether it's sacrificing our time, energy, or resources, it's a crucial part of achieving our goals and leaving a positive impact in the world.

 

As we approach Easter, we are reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ. His selfless act of giving up his life for the sake of others is a powerful example of what it means to truly sacrifice. It teaches us that sacrifice is not just about giving up something, but about giving it up for a greater purpose.

 

This lesson is particularly relevant as we also remember the sacrifices made by ANZAC soldiers. These brave men and women gave up their life for the sake of their country and the freedoms we enjoy today. Their sacrifice is a testament to the fact that sacrifice is not just an individual act but a collective one that can have a lasting impact ongenerations to come.

 

It's important to remember that sacrifice is not always easy but  necessary for growth and progress. It requires us to step outside  ourselves and think about the greater good. Making a sacrifice is about recognising that sometimes we must give up something in the present for a better future.

 

As we move forward, I encourage you to think about the sacrifices we can make in our own life. Whether it's giving up our time to volunteer, sacrificing our own needs for the needs of others, or making sacrifices for the betterment of our community, we all have the power to make a difference.Thank you for all that you contribute to our community. Wishing you a safe and restful break, and I look forward to seeing you all next term.
