As we approach Easter, we again face some uncertainty. Some may be concerned, disappointed or stressed. Mary and the friends of Jesus, also faced the holy days we now know as Easter with many emotions. We know the Easter story is one of hope, a great reminder for us all. During the Easter season, let’s look for the opportunity to be a sign of hope and reassurance for others.

With the fete only six weeks away, we are full of hope as we plan for this event.

Last week our Fete Committee was overwhelmed with the generosity of our families donating a variety of items for our Tombola Stall. Bouquets to all who provided items for the success of our fete.

Our Holy Spirit value this week is gratitude, as a staff, we are grateful to all who contribute to our school community. Throughout the term we have conducted interviews for future prep students and often families seeking a place in Prep refer to the recommendation of current or past families - thank you for your support.

Tomorrow our senior students will present the Stations of the Cross, the story of Jesus from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday.  It is a great story of hope! This Easter Liturgy is a key event in the life of our school, the story of Easter is the reason all catholic schools exist.

In the hustle and bustle of preparing for any holiday season, it is easy to get caught up in the many jobs which need to be done and miss the meaning of the season. I hope you have the opportunity to be a part of the Easter ceremonies as advertised in this newsletter.

Thank you for your contribution and support in Term 1, I look forward to working with you and your children next term.

Wishing you all the joy of the risen Christ this Easter.
