Emmaus Icon

The Emmaus Icon was much larger than I expected and just beautiful. Room 18 you were so respectful and reverent in the church. We said an Our Father together then went to kneel in front of the icon and make the sign of the cross.

Junior Rosary

What a lovely Rosary this morning. You were all so well behaved and respectful. Great to see so many of you saying the Hail Mary. Well done!

What an awesome class you are - look at you all!

Week 3

Hopefully the weather fines up and warms up this week - it's a tad chilly today. 

Here's what's happening this week.

Monday - Last day for Calendar Art orders. If you missed the deadline on Friday, you have one last day (Monday) to put your order in.

Student Led Conferences - Are on Tuesday for the middle and senior school only. The junior school are having their conferences/celebrations on Thursday 30th November.

Swimming - Every day this week. Remember to bring your togs, towel and a plastic bag for swimming each day. PARENTS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD'S UNIFORM IS NAMED. This makes it much easier to return misplaced uniforms to the correct owners. Please check the post below regarding Rushil's uniform. If you find a uniform or part thereof at your home that does not belong to your child, please return it to school promptly. No questions asked. We are developing your child's independence in looking after their own property and putting their own clothes on - there's always a few hiccups along the way and sometimes uniforms get mixed up.

Rosary - Wednesday 8:45am - It's our turn this week. The junior school are leading the Rosary. Parents, family and friends are most welcome to come along and join with us. The Rosary is held in the school hall.

All Saints/All Souls Liturgy - Thursday 10am in the school hall. All parents, family and friends are welcome to come along and join us.

No Assembly on Friday as the middle and senior school are at athletics all day. Addition - Sausage Sizzle and/or Juicy can be ordered as usual on Friday morning.

Emmaus Icon - This religious icon is visiting our school on Thursday. We will be visiting the church in the afternoon to view it and say a prayer. Here is a link with more information - Emmaus Icon 

Upcoming next week - Grandparents/Grandfriends Mass and concert is on Friday 10th November. Mass is at 9am, followed by refreshments, then a concert. All are welcome to join us for this day of celebration. Fingers crossed the weather will be fine.

Playhouse Working Bee - Thanks to all those who were able to come along and help. Thanks Leidy (Lucas' mum) for sending through these photos - the kids look like they're having a blast!

Rosary & Athletics

Today in Religious Education (RE) we learned about the Rosary. The Rosary is prayers we say to Mary so that she may take our needs to Jesus. We know how to say the Our Father and are learning how to say Hail Mary. We then made our very own class Rosary.

Mylene and Rico enjoyed the activity so much they decided to make their own to take home.

This afternoon we started our training for our athletics day later in the term. We were learning how to do a scissor jump for the high jump...

...and also how to do the long jump - one foot in the hoop and land on two feet (very tricky indeed). Boy we can fly!

After all that hard work it was time for a very quick play on the big kids playground.
