PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Pope Benedict XVI’s Prayer for Grandparents
Lord Jesus,
you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment
for families, for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of Gospel faith,
guardians of noble domestic ideals,
living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to future generations the fruits
of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Lord Jesus,
help families and society
to value the presence and role of grandparents.
May they never be ignored or excluded,
but always encounter respect and love.
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed
in all the years of life which you give them.
Mary, Mother of all the living,
keep grandparents constantly in your care,
accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage,
and by your prayers, grant that all families
may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland,
where you await all humanity
for the great embrace of life without end. Amen!
Dear Parents
Thank you to all those who made Grandparents Day so lovely, especially our mums in the canteen! We loved having so many grandparents join us on the day. Photos from the day, including the iMovie with all the photos sent in, are in the following folder:

In response to the feedback provided through the communication survey sent out last term we have begun sending out a weekly overview of school events each Sunday afternoon. We hope you find this information useful.
P&F Meeting
Please join us for the next P&F Meeting next Tuesday at 6.30pm. This one will be held over Zoom, so you can wear your ugg boots and pjs if you want!
Book Week Parade - save the date
Students are invited to get dressed up as their favourite book character for our Book Week Parade on Wednesday 23 August at 9am. Younger siblings are welcome to dress up also, as are any parents or grandparents wanting to join in the fun.
There are no prizes for best costumes, so please don’t feel pressure to buy or spend a lot of money on a costume!
