We are moving closer to Easter. Each week in the Gospel, at Mass, we heard about some very strong themes that guide us in this time of renewal. Lent means spring, so this time is a time to start fresh by reflecting, forgiving and thinking of others who are less fortunate than ourselves. It was amazing to see the children contribute to the coin line we made on Friday. It was a visible sign of our families giving to others and raised $173.80 for Project Compassion. Caritas Australia count on the generosity of kind, everyday people. The funds make a difference to the lives of vulnerable communities, globally. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Next week is Holy Week which is a special time in our faith life. Holy Week tells a story of Jesus in the week leading up to Easter Sunday. It is a compelling story and the children are always very interested. On Wednesday at 10am, as a whole school, we will go on that journey. The children are asked to bring something to school that they can put on over the top of their uniform so they will be dressed like the people of Jesus' time. All attending are asked to also wear a piece of clothing from that time. Our journey will take us around the school grounds. Each class will present their part of the story. It is a reverent and quiet time for the children and staff as we go back in time.

We wish you all a happy Easter and may Jesus be a part of your Easter celebrations.
