2022, Term 1, Week 11 Newsletter
Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
This morning at our Easter Liturgy we were reminded of the special time that is approaching for our Catholic faith. Today we remembered the story of Jesus’ suffering and death, as we prepare for Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Today, as we remembered Jesus’ story, we opened our hearts to receive the comfort and healing strength of his love for us. As part of the Easter liturgy, each of the classes presented part of the Holy Week journey. All students showed great reverence and courage in getting up and performing for their peers and our visitors. Yesterday, our school also celebrated our Easter picnic here on the school grounds. The event was well supported by families and had some fun and bubbly activities, including the Easter egg hunt! Thank you to our school Parents and Friends Association for organising the picnic.
I have also included an Easter prayer as part of this week’s newsletter that you may choose to use personally or with your family.
Included in today’s liturgy and school assembly was our annual Easter raffle. Thank you to all families and friends of St Patrick’s who sold and purchased raffle tickets. Early estimates are that the raffle has raised in excess of $500 for our school Parents and Friends Association. A sensational effort. Special thanks to Kim Hedger for coordinating the raffle and coming along to our gathering today to help draw the raffle.
The lucky winners of the Easter Raffle are:
1st Langdon family
2nd Matt Lane
3rd Megan Gleeson
Enjoy happy and safe school holidays and Easter break.
Kind regards,
Nick Murrell
Principal
