As we come to the end of the first term we have much to celebrate and be grateful for. Term One has provided our teaching team with many professional learning opportunities. I am extremely proud and feel so very blessed to be able to work with our amazing teaching team. They work tirelessly to support our students in so many ways each and every day. 

There will be some new additions to our teaching team next term. We welcome Miss Ellie Shannon, who will team teach with Mrs Shaw on Year 1/2. Mrs Shaw will teach on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Miss Shannon will on Thursdays and Fridays. 

Miss Anita Carter will be the Year 5/6 teacher on Fridays for the remainder of the year, team teaching with Miss Corcoran.

Mrs Sue MacRae will take Term 2 off on Long Service Leave. We wish Mrs MacRae an enjoyable term.

As we break for our holidays we celebrate in our church the most important seaon of the liturgical year. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, this weekend, which introduces Jesus as King of Israel. In the liturgy of Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triamphant entry into Jerusalem. 

Next week we celebrate Holy Thursday, the beginnings of the Eucharist. During the Mass, the priest re-enacts Jesus' washing the feet of his apostles at the Last Supper. This is a reminder that the Church is there to serve in the same way that Jesus took care of God's people.

Good Friday liturgy reminds us that Jesus died for our sake, even though he was without sin. It is a day of prayer and reflection when we remember in a special way Jesus' death on the cross.

The Easter Vigil Mass is the most majestic of all the Masses in the Church's year, when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection - his victory over death! It is a time of great joy.

May you take some time this Easter to celebrate with family and to remember God's love for us all.
