Week 4 Newsletter

Thank You

Thank you to the Year 3/4 teachers and students who led our Mother’s Day liturgy last Friday. The liturgy was a celebration of our mothers and mother figures in our lives. It also honoured Mary the Mother of God. The students reverently shared readings, prayers and songs in honour and praise of all mothers.

Thank you to Fr Mick and the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish who gifted St Michael’s school with a magnificent statue of Mary. The statue is currently on display in the front office in honour of Mary this month, and will be treasured by our community.

Finally, thank you one and all for your generous donations to Project Compassion this year. As a community we raised $225. This donation will be greatly appreciated by Caritas Australia.

Whole School Focus – Live in Harmony

Our Harmony Awards, this and last week, celebrate students who display our school value of courage.  Courage is not the absence of fear, rather, facing fears and overcoming them.  In classes, students have been exploring what it means to have courage and how the Holy Spirit can help us to be brave.

 The Ascension of the Lord

This Sunday we celebrate Jesus’ last bodily appearance before being taken up to heaven. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles recount the event which occurred on the Mount of Olives. In the scriptures we are given an important message from Jesus: Go and make disciples! Jesus calls each of us to be missionaries.  He wants all of His followers to share in His message of love with others.
