Coffee and Connection
What are you up to straight after morning drop off this Friday, June 3? Would you like to meet (or catch up with) some other parents over a warm cuppa? Tea and coffee will be available in the Church Café area. Enter via the courtyard. Toddlers are welcome. (There is a small playground for them to play in. We just ask that you keep an eye on them for safety reasons.) Love to see you there!

GSPV Pushers!
The Good Shepherd Pushers have been raising money for mental health for the last two years and we would love you to get involved too.
The Push-Up Challenge has participants completing 3,139 push-ups over 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health.
You can donate to the team here.
Scholastic Book Club
Scholastic catalogues have been sent home with students this week.
Scholastic apps are available to download for both Apple and Android devices to make ordering through the Loop system easier.
There is the option to mark your purchases as GIFTS. When these books arrive you will be contacted directly, rather than books going home with students.
Please also note that some titles offered, differ from the Christian ethos followed by the school.
Orders need to be placed via LOOP by Thursday 9 June.
Happy reading everyone!
Growing Faith at Home
This coming Sunday the Church will celebrate Pentecost. At Pentecost, we celebrate how the Holy Spirit comes to help us believe and live as God’s children. Red is the colour of Pentecost and represents the flames of fire that descended on the followers of Jesus when the Holy Spirit came 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection. There are some interesting conversation starters on offer this week, but don’t forget that simply sharing your highs and lows of the day is a powerful way to connect with those you love.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
