Ash Wednesday
This year the students will be celebrating Ash Wednesday in an outdoor liturgy at school. Families are still welcome to attend an Ash Wednesday Parish Mass at Sacred Heart Church at 7pm on 2nd March.
Shrove Tuesday
The students will receive a pancake again this year for Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). These will be shared in line with covid protocols. If your child has a food allergy please be in touch with their class teacher to clarify whether they have special dietary requirements in this instance. Further details will be communicated in the coming days.
Project Compassion boxes
Project compassion boxes will be sent home shortly (in week 5) for the period of Lent. Please encourage your child to give generously to the project compassion appeal and then return their box with their donation back to school by the end of this term.
Altar servers
A reminder to please contact Mrs Collins via email or the office, if you would like your child to receive training to volunteer as an altar server. Any child who has received their First Eucharist in the Catholic Church is eligible to participate.
Sacrament of First Reconciliation
The students in Year 3 who are eligible to make the Sacrament of First Reconciliation will begin their preparation later this term. The Parent Information session will be held on Tuesday 15th March at 7pm. (Details will follow closer to the date once we can determine whether it will be a face to face or zoom meeting online). Any parent wishing for their baptised child to receive the Sacrament who is in Year 4 or above, is encouraged to contact Mrs Collins or the front office as soon as possible.
Secondary SRC Pool Party
