Hello Everyone

As we enter the final week of the term, I would like to thank everyone for their support as it has been very busy with completing 2021 Sacraments, Ash Wednesday, Lent, Religious Education Planning to name a few. 

The staff and students have been focusing on Lent for the past five weeks and will continue to learn about the days of Holy Week and why this is so important. The teacher’s and students have been making Easter Prayer cards for people in the wider community. Students have made these cards as part of their Lenten action which will be delivered to Villa Maria Catholic Nursing Home and Craig Care residents in Berwick. St. Vincent De Paul Society, St. Michael’s Parishioners, Vinnies Soup Van, Health Care Heroes and student’s Buddy classmates. 

When we return to school, the students will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and the significance that this has on them. 

On Friday the 29th April we will be celebrating the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena. It will be a day where we can come together to acknowledge this amazing woman whose faith was her strength. On this day we will include our Caritas fundraiser by completing Kilometres for Compassion. 

Just a reminder that if you have not enrolled your child for the Sacrament of Confirmation could you please contact St. Michael’s Parish Center and speak to Tara Bau, their phone number is 97071355. 

Wishing you and your family a very happy and holy Easter. 

Yours in Faith
