The Joy of the Easter Season is Upon Us !
As we approach the Easter holiday season, we are reminded that our Lenten journey will come to a close and the joyful resurrection of Jesus will soon be with us.
With Holy Week having commenced, staff and students will gather on Holy Thursday to participate in an Easter play; “E-A-S-T-E-R Spells Easter” allowing us the opportunity to reflect upon the true meaning of Easter.
Next term the Easter season continues, a fifty day celebration and a time for a new season of grace and a time of joy and thanksgiving, as we continue to rejoice in the resurrection of Christ, and the joy and hope we all celebrate at this time.
Serving Others
This year Year 5 and 6 students have been offered the opportunity to actively participate in serving our school and local community through volunteering with a service group. Mini Vinnies continues to operate raising funds and awareness through a number of activities and events. Other service groups include:
Recycling Group – Environmental Warriors responsible for the sorting and counting of materials collected for Containers for Change.
Make A Difference Group – listening to younger students read, practise sight words and play games before school.
Aged Care Group – visiting and playing for residents or making cards, puzzles or arts if visits are not possible.
Environmental Group – establishing a vegetable garden and offering free produce for families.
These service groups will be coordinated and lead by some of our Year 11 students, offering mentoring, friendship and serving others. Stay tuned for news on these exciting initiatives in coming months.
God's Blessings
