Dear Parents and Carers
Parent Meet and Greet and Sundowner Picnic
We are looking forward to our Parent Meet and Greet and Sundowner Picnic on the oval on Friday 23rd of February. Classrooms open at 4.30pm for you to meet the teacher and a reminder that every family who visits their child’s classroom will have their name entered into a draw for a new uniform shirt and hat. If you also volunteer to be the class rep your name will go into an additional draw for a new uniform shirt and hat prize.
We value our partnership with you in your child’s education journey, so we hope to see many parents at the Parent Meet and Greet.

Please remember that only essential medication is administered at school by office staff or the student. Parents must complete the School Medication Record and provide prescribed medication in the original container with the relevant instructions.

Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday and we held a liturgy in the undercover area to mark the beginning of the Lenten season. Pope Francis provided us with some wise guidance for the weeks leading up to Easter.
‘Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.
Fast from worries and have trust in God.
Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
Fast from pressure and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joy.
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others.
Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.’
God bless you all.
