Remembrance Day

On Tuesday our senior cohort of students walked to the Grenfell Cenotaph to join the Grenfell community for Remembrance Day. We came together, in silence and prayer, to remember all those who have served in all wars. As we remember the lives that have been lost, we pray and hope for peace and pledge to work towards peace in our world.

Prayer of St Francis

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.

Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,

And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.

Where there is darkness only light,

And where there’s sadness ever joy.

Oh Master, grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console.

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

In giving of ourselves that we receive,

And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Kindergarten/ Year One Class Mass

Kindergarten and Year One held their class Mass last Wednesday based on the theme ‘we belong to a family’. Fr Mark Ha presided over the Mass, ably assisted by Greg Ewers as the acolyte. Mrs Best and Mrs Caruana did a wonderful job preparing the students. It was a special Mass which the Kindergarten and Year One students can be proud of. We thank all parents and friends who were able to join us for the Mass. Well done to everyone involved!

With the festive season drawing closer, and in the spirit of Christmas, we are asking all families to provide generous support to offer hope for many locals who face an uncertain Christmas. The aim is to bring relief to those who need it most through a food drive.

Below is a list of the categories/ items we will be collecting. For all items, please check that the expiry dates extend into 2024. Baskets will be left in each classroom for students to place items into. All donated items will be delivered to our local Food Hall at the end of term.
