Dear Parents and Carers,

First Eucharist

This Saturday, eight of our Year 3 students will be receiving the Sacrament of First Eucharist. We are very proud of the efforts the students have put into their preparation sessions over the last month, supported by Cathy Ffrench and Ann Tracey. We invite all families to attend to show their support for our students as they take this next step in their faith formation journey. Students will receive the sacrament during Mass at St Bede's Church, beginning at 6pm.

Mini Mission Fete

Next Friday (24th November), our Year 5 and 6 leaders will be hosting our annual Mini Mission Fete to raise money for Catholic Mission. Students have been working hard behind the scenes for a number of weeks now, planning their stalls for the fete and are very excited to share these with the younger students at our Assembly tomorrow afternoon. Please remember to send in a gold coin or 2 with your child so they can participate in the event. Some stalls this year include haunted house, popcorn and snow cones, face painting, feely box and stretch the lolly snake. There is plenty of fun to be had by all! The fete will run from 11:30am-1pm.

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

A note was sent home a few weeks ago providing details about what types of non-perishable food items are being collected. Please consider how you can make a difference to someone's life this holiday season. All donations need to be at school by next Friday 24th November. Our Year 6 leaders will be assisting Vinnies volunteers to pack hampers so these can be distributed to local families in need.
Please deliver donations to your child's classroom or the front office.

A Prayer for Peace

We offer a prayer of peace for our world, particularly for those suffering in Palestine and Israel.

Yours in faith,
Bridget Bradley
