Our Lady of Mercy

Dear Parents and Carers

An 11-week term is a long one for both the children and staff. I think everyone is ready for a good break, rest and recharge over the school holidays.

This week, I spoke to the children about taking time to sit with parents and carers to read their reports and to celebrate their growth and achievements. It is also an opportune time to talk about and set some learning and work habit goals for Semester 2. Reports will go home tomorrow.

We began our week celebrating Naidoc Week, with our Year 6 students leading an assembly to recognise the strength and vitality of the First Nations people. Our students have been engaged in many activities across the school to recognise the oldest continuous living culture on earth.

On Friday, we end our school term in our traditional way with a whole school Mass. Parents and Carers are invited to attend. Mass commences at 8.50am.

Stay safe over the holidays and we look forward to seeing all the children back at school on Monday 15th of July.

God bless you all.
