RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MATTERS

Blessed Are They That Have Not Seen and Yet Have Believed

In Religion, Year 2 have been learning about the events that happened after Good Friday.

We created liquid pictures to show what happened - Tiana and Sebastian

When Mary and the disciples arrived at the tomb the boulder

had been moved away and Jesus was gone! - Alvin

An angel appeared to Mary Magdala and the angel said “Go and spread the good news Jesus is alive!”- Mariah.

Mary told the disciples the good news but Thomas did not believe Jesus because he couldn’t see Jesus with his own eyes - Amarise

Jesus appeared to Thomas and Thomas saw the nail prints in his hands and believed - Tyrell Thomas said “My Lord and my God” - Catherine

Jesus said “You believe because you see me. Blessed are those who believe although they have not seen” John 20:28-30

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Celebrating our mums and mother figure in our life

A special thanks to the many mums and grandmothers who assisted in wrapping our Mother’s Day gifts last week. The children were all very excited to choose that special gifts for their loved one. I also wish to thank Mr Bawden and our team for organising a very special Eucharistic celebration last Friday.

We say goodbye to Fr Robert

It is with mixed feelings that I share with you that Fr Robert has been appointed Parish Priest of the Windsor Parish. Although Fr Robert has only been with us for a short time, he has left his mark in our hearts as a great spiritual leader and friend. He will be sadly missed by us all. We wish him God’s blessing as he begins this next chapter in his ministry.

School Photos

School photos are happening on Monday the 22nd of May. It is important that all children are in the correct winter school uniform. Part of our winter uniform is the tie. Please ensure that your child has the correct uniform on each day.

Being proud to wear our school uniform

Children who are not wearing the correct uniform will have a blue note sent home to you. We ask in good faith that parents abide by our school uniform requirements and support all policies and procedures at Holy Family. Only by working together, we can make our school great.

Parent Learning Walk

Just a reminder that we have a parent learning walk on Thursday the 18th of May at 9.15 starting in the school hall. Following this our Term 2 Fundraising Committee meeting will be held at approximately 9.45am. We encourage our parents to attend.

Parent Coaching class - 1,2,3 Magic

Just a reminder that our parent coaching class begins on Friday. A second note went home this week encouraging our parents to attend. Our school will be covering the cost of this course for our family members. Please consider attending with a group of friends. It is a great way to encourage each other and talk about some of the strategies that will be covered by our presenters.
