Shrove Tuesday

A huge thank you to Irene Culjak and Angela Dzaja for preparing the pancake batter for Shrove Tuesday’s pancakes. Thank you also to Angela Dzaja, Amelia Sitauti, Kylie Charles, Dinora Collins and Cheri Roberts for making the pancakes on Tuesday morning. They were delicious!!!

Ash Wednesday

Today we marked the beginning of Lent with Mass. Congratulations to 3/4YM for your thought provoking introduction to the Mass and your lovely choice of songs. Our 5/6 students on camp also paused for an Ash Wednesday liturgy this morning.

Lenten Appeal

As is our tradition we are supporting Caritas’ Lenten Appeal, Project Compassion. All students should have come home with small money boxes this week. Students are encouraged to think of ways they can donate money to help those in great need. You may wish to have a conversation with your children about how they will do this. Money boxes are asked to be returned in Week 10 this term so we can send the funds to Caritas. Thank you.

An important part of Project Compassion is also raising awareness of world poverty and how to help. Please consider viewing the video and information for Week 1 of Project Compassion. Learn all about Thandolwayo from Zimbabwe. https://lent.caritas.org.au/page/week-1

Sewing needed

I am looking for help with sewing a new cover for our Mass book that Father Loi uses during all of our school Masses. He would like it to continue to be rainbow coloured. If you are talented with creating and sewing (not my gift) and are interested in helping with this small task please contact Ms Younger at school or via email. meaghan.younger@cg.catholic.edu.au  

Whole School Prayer Time

5/6B are very busy preparing to lead us in prayer this Friday, 8^th March. This Whole School Prayer Time will offer us the opportunity to consider how we ‘Include’ as we are ‘Growing with the Spirit’. Whole School Prayer Times will begin at 2:20pm this year. They will still be held in the St Michael’s Church.
