Last week we celebrated Mission Week. During the week students learned about Catholic Missions and the work they are doing in Thailand to support the Good Shepherd Sisters. The Sisters have created a Kindergarten Centre which offers children from disadvantaged backgrounds a chance to go to school, learn and play with friends and receive nutritious meals.

A very big thank you to all the students for the fundraising done on our SOCKtober day. Their efforts mean we will be sending over $850 to Catholic Missions for them to continue their work.

“To be on mission is to be willing to think as Christ does, to believe with him that those around us are also my brothers and sisters. May his compassionate love touch our hearts and make us all true missionary disciples.” Pope Francis

Thank you also to Miss O'Brien, staff and students for our School Mass on Friday. During the mass we reflected on Mission Week and the Kinder/1 students and helpers prepared a wonderful liturgical celebration for us all.

Today the clasroom teachers are again working with staff from St Joseph's in Grenfell and Religious Education consultants. The teachers have the privilege of learning from Andrea Muller, who is a consultant and regional director for Innovative Global Education and Lee Herden from Catholic Education in Canberra. Staff are working in partnership to review and refine planning, teaching and assessment for this term and early next year. 

Thank you to the families that are continuing to support the health of our school community. As we are still at Level 3 restrictions we are required to follow the NSW Health guidelines.
