Religious Education News and Notes from the Deputy Principal
What a wonderful start to the school year. It has been a great couple of weeks seeing everyone again and getting to know our new students.
On Tuesday we celebrated Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Tuesday) with pancakes supplied by our Parents & Friends. Thank you so much to all of you for taking the time to make these special treats for our students.
Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Season of Lent. During Lent, we prepare for Easter through prayer, alms giving (donations), and fasting. We are very thankful for our new Parish Priest, Father Amal, for coming to the school to distribute the ashes.
Ash Wednesday is also the start of Project Compassion, an ongoing project from Caritas Australia to raise funds for projects around the world. Our Prep to Year 6 families have all received a donation box to take home to contribute, and our Kinder classroom has a box for any donations that these students and families would like to make. Thank you for your continued support of this organisation.
Prayer for Lent:
Almighty and ever living God,
you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.
May this time be one of outward focus;
seeking you in those we often ignore.
Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.
Give us hearts hungry to serve you
and those who need what we have to give.
Amen
Mr Casey Moore
Deputy Principal & Religious Education Coordinator
