Principal Retreat

Jannine
Welcome to Week 6! We are now in our third week of Lent and the children have observed changes to their prayer spaces and the Church during the Lenten season.
Purple (or violet) is the colour of the Lenten season. Cloths on our prayer tables and the Tabernacle cover in the church are now purple. During Lent, flowers and other decorations are removed from the church as well. During Lent we focus on prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
Students have been referring to their Lenten promises regularly as a gentle reminder.
Prayer
Each morning St Mary’s students and staff begin with prayer.
This is a special way to start our day, our time to connect with God
and set our intentions for a beautiful day at St Mary’s.
I thought I would share our prayer with you this week.
Have a lovely week everyone.
Amy Buckmaster - Religious Education Coordinator

Those families who have been sent home medical forms such as Asthma, Anaphylaxis and Allergic reactions also need to return these as soon as possible as they must be updated yearly.
