Dear Parents and Carers

As we conclude Term 3 2022 it is wonderful to reflect on the many experiences and events this term that have engaged our students in their learning and brought the Fatima community together once again.

The celebration of First Holy Communion, Book Week, Science Week, Interschool and school-based debating, Father’s Day, Grandparents Day, Jersey Day and Interschool sporting events have provided opportunities for the students to develop skills across a wide range of disciplines including faith formation and the promotion of positive wellbeing.

Please take note of the following dates that have been chosen for Staff Development Days to cause the least disruption to student learning before the end of the year. These dates can also be found on the parent calendar on the next tab. If for any reason you cannot find supervision for your child/ren there will be supervision available for them at school on any of the following days except Thursday 22nd September, 2022.

As a school community our prayers, thoughts and hearts have been with the Royal family as they mourn the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

​​Almighty God, 

source of all consolation,

we pray for the members of the Royal Family

who mourn the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Uphold them in your love and pour out on them the consolation 

of your healing Spirit.

Let them find in your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ

comfort in their sadness, certainty in their doubt

and courage to live through this hour.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

Wishing the school community a safe and relaxing holiday break.
