Holy Rosary
NEWSLETTER | TERM 4| WEEK 2| 18 OCT 2024
Building friendships, one layer at a time! ☀️🤸♀️ Teamwork, laughter, and good times all around. 🙌
True Spirit-led forgiveness always frees and heals at least one of the parties involved, and hopefully both. If it only preserves my moral high ground—as a magnanimous “Christian” person—I doubt if it is true forgiveness at all. In forgiveness, we live up to our true and deepest dignity. We then operate by a power and a logic not our own.
Hi Everyone,
What a wonderful way to end our week. Mass this morning led by Father Peter was a delightful celebration. The choir performed beautifully, with all the children participating enthusiastically.
Our sincere thanks go to our amazing P&F, and to you, for today’s amazing Lapathon. What a wonderful, enjoyable afternoon! A lot of laps run for a great cause - Holy Rosary!
Thursday next week sees many of our children involved in the Interschool Athletics Carnival. This is a fantastic event involving around fifteen schools. We look forward to it.
Enjoy the weekend.

A huge congratulations to our Holy Rosary Junior Chess Champions for 2024. 1st Yuven, 2nd Finbar and 3rd Lachlan. On Wednesday, they were presented with their trophies at hymn singing in front of the whole school community. On Thursday, the Chess Umpires were celebrated with a thank you morning tea, which wraps up Chess at Holy Rosary for another year. Thank you to all students in both Tournaments for trying so hard and being involved. Thank you especially to our Year 5 and 6 umpires who gave up their lunchtimes to help everything run smoothly. There are still many outstanding overdue books.
Students are being encouraged by their teachers and myself to return or replace any missing, overdue or damaged books before they continue borrowing. With a short, busy term, it is especially important that library books are accounted for from week to week and I thank all parents and guardians for their support with this.
