The Ascension of our Lord into heaven was celebrated on Sunday.  The time had come for Jesus to say goodbye to his disciples and return to his Father in heaven.  They had work to do when he was gone, but through the Holy Spirit they would never feel alone again or afraid.  Each one of us in our own way can do our best to share God’s words and faith with those around us in our words and actions.  We encourage our students to always take pride in doing their best in whatever they do at school, at home or in the community. 

This week at Holy Spirit, we value honesty.  Honesty is the foundation upon which a person builds any relationship with their loved ones such as family or friends.  By being honest to our loved ones, we make them feel that they are trustworthy and close enough for us to totally expose our true self.  This week we pray for our students to be honest and sincere to build trust and relationships with others, using the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

This week displayed in the office is work from Year 4B students.  They have been learning about the different types of prayers, the structure of prayers and are starting to write their own prayers.  Well done to the students that provide us with lovely prayers for this week.
