HOLY ROSARY SCHOOL

Every time God forgives—seventy times seven, apparently—God is showing a preference and capacity for sustaining relationship over being right, distant, superior, and separate. We are slow learners in that regard. The unilateral “covenant love” promised by the prophets is God’s absolute ability to sustain relationship with everything and, finally, to overcome our resistance by the same allurement “that moves the sun and the other stars” as Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) would put it. It is all one and the same stream of Love.

Richard Rohr, What Do We Do with Evil?

Hi Everyone,

As week one of term three draws to a close we give thanks for the deeply enjoyable experiences which have come our way. My thanks to you for having your children so well prepared to return and embrace the term, and to our teachers for investing much time in the break ensuring a calm, smooth, productive start for our children. It takes plenty of work to get to this point and I am very grateful for that commitment.

We welcome our new staff Misty Waters and Sarah Stajka in Year Four and Alexandra Coltrona in Year Five. It is wonderful to have you here and we wish you a very very rewarding and fulfilling experience at Holy Rosary.

It will come as no surprise that a few reminders form part of this newsletter. Please support them. They contribute significantly to the Holy Rosary experience!

Have a good weekend

Mark

“So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.”
― Roald Dahl, Matilda

Oscar brought his library bag and books to school each borrowing day in Term 2 and won the Library prize!!! Well done Oscar!

Numero is back for Years 3-6 commencing Week 2!!

If your child is interested in joining the Numero Club on Friday mornings in the library, please have them sign up using the sheet outside the library. There are only 40 places available so be quick! Numero Club starts at 7.45am.
