Congratulations are extended to the students who celebrated their First Reconciliation on 23rd September.
First Eucharist
The students in Year 4 have begun their preparation for First Eucharist and we keep them in our prayers. The families are of course encouraged to make a conscious effort to regularly attend weekend Masses especially during this preparation time. The candidates are reminded to enrol for the Sacrament if they are yet to do so. This can be done this Saturday 17th October at 6pm or alternatively Father has added one extra enrolment Mass the following weekend on Sunday 25th October at 10am. If these times still don’t suit please arrange to present your child at a weekday Mass or contact Fr Sijo directly to make alternate arrangements.
Details regarding the Retreat Day for First Eucharist will be sent home in the next few days.
Year 6 Retreat
Year 6 will be having a Retreat at school early this term. The email will be sent out to families of Year 6 students in the next few days once final details have been confirmed.
Year 10 Retreat Day
It was a privilege in the last week of Term 3 to be able to share the Year 10 Retreat day with our remarkable Year 10 students. It was a wonderful day of reflection, renewal, companionship and spiritual growth. I can’t begin to express how very impressed I was with the mature and reflective way in which the whole group embraced the opportunities and participated throughout the day. We are grateful to Mr Dennis Sleigh and to Mr Haigh who both led the students in activities and games and enjoyed sharing the day with them. We also express our gratitude to Fr Sijo who celebrated Reconciliation and Mass for us. Thank you also to Miss Jamieson for her organisation and to both Michelle and Louise Gaynor for preparing the evening meal for the group. It was a beautiful day which we took advantage of with some time spent out at the lake. A perfect way to enjoy each other’s company and connect with God. Thank you Year 10 for such a memorable day.
