Dear Parents February 1

st was the feastday of St Brigid – the

patron saint of the Brigidine sisters who conducted our school for 94 years. We are deeply endebted to the Brigidine sisters and pray that they are rewarded for their dedication. A Catholic school has two main jobs – to be clearly Catholic and to be an excellent school. Being Catholic means doing the work of the Church (bringing the God to people in ways that are real and relevant). At Mass on Saturday evening teachers and catechists were “commissioned” (sent out) by parishioners to work on their behalf. Conducting an excellent, Christ-centred school is the way we are doing that. Student Leaders of 2015 are the focus of our prayers at the Leadership Mass on Monday Feb 9th. Responsibilities of the student leaders are well underway and already our leaders demonstrate great promise for the year ahead. We welcome Riley Barron to the rank of Senior Prefect for 2015. Guardian Angels (from Year 6) for kindergarten students have begun to spend time with their new companions. In the past, close links made here have become long-standing friendships, with gifts given on special occasions and time spent together out of school. Such friendship is a lovely gift to share. The annual Swimming Carnival is being conducted on February 6th (weather permitting). Fitting in events for eleven year groups within just one day is a logistical challenge in which we try to achieve a balance for the children. Representatives of St Raphael’s will be selected for the K-10 schools competition at Mudgee. Thank you to members of the P&F Association for hosting the “cuppa” for Kindy parents after that dreaded first drop-off … someone suggested “tears and tea” for the parents (the children were fine.) We welcome new students and their families to our St Raphael’s family. We also welcome Miss Prue Giffen and Miss Angela Calvert to the primary teaching staff.

It is lovely to see the growth in maturity that has happened among the students since December. Even after a relatively short time away the development is quite evident and ever so rewarding.

Michael Gallagher Principal

Prayer

Brigid, you were a woman of peace,

You brought harmony where there was conflict.

You brought light to the darkness.

You brought hope to the downcast.

May the mantle of your peace cover those who are

troubled and anxious,

And may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and

in our world.

St. Brigid: A Woman for Our Time Last Sunday we celebrated the feast day of St Brigid. Being a Brigidine school, St Brigid holds special significance for us. Looking at her life, and at some issues that confront and challenge us, it seems only right that Brigid would hold such significance. Brigid, with her closeness to nature, is a very accessible saint to women and men. Those concerned about the environment and the future of the planet draw inspiration from the reverence and respect which she had for the land. Brigid played a significant role in the church and society of her time. She is seen as a model of equality. What emerges from the stories about Brigid’s abbacy is the portrait of a powerful leader, an organiser, a soul friend, a healer, a prophetess. She is a potent symbol of womanhood, showing us, in so many ways, the feminine face of God. Brigid saw Christ in every person, especially in the guise of the poor person. Those concerned with justice issues are challenged by her response. A sense of justice impelled her to share: “what is mine is theirs”. Her life inspires unity and reconciliation. In a world of much fragmentation, with many divides, there is a search for unity, a search for connection, a search for a sense of the whole family, human and natural. The stories and legends about Brigid depict her as a woman of energetic action which is summed up in the phrase: “…hers is a legacy not of words, but of a lifetime of ministry.” Condensed from “Rekindling the Flame: A pilgrimage in the footsteps of Brigid of Kildare by Rita Minehan CSB For the Calendar Opening School Mass: Monday February 9th - 10am Leaders Mass: February 14th - 6pm Mass

At this Mass the new leaders of our school are introduced to the parish community at the Saturday Evening Parish Mass Ash Wednesday: February 19th, Wednesday Week 4 LIBRARY LESSONS: Welcome back to all our great readers, there is a lovely selection of new books for students to explore, read and borrow. For those new to the school please ensure students have a library bag that will protect books from food and beverage spillages that occur in bags; and from the weather. Kindergarten to Year Two have a library lesson each week ,and years three to six have a library lesson each fortnight. Happy

Reading. Kerri Skinner - Librarian.

Summer Sports Trials We wish Mikelli Garratt, Zara McKenzie and Matilda Proctor all the best as they head to Lismore later this week for Summer Sports Trials, representing the Bathurst Diocese in the sport of Tennis. All the best.

Crocus Orders Final price is in. The cost for the Crocus is $34-50 each. Please send in your money as soon as possible and the magazine will be handed to your child. There are a limited number of extra copies which will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Thank you. SCHOOL FEE DISCOUNT

If you have a child attending another Catholic school

within the Diocese, you are entitled to have them

included in your discount of school fees (tuition and

school capital works levy). If this is applicable to you

please fill in the form at the end of this Newsletter and

return it to school by Wednesday, 11th February.

CDF Banking Banking will begin next week. Invitations to open a bank account with the Catholic Development fund will go home with all the new Kindergartens today. If anyone else wishes to open account, please collect the forms from the front office. Thank you to Mrs Jacqui Collingwood-Cusack and Mrs Tracey Vardy for once again offering to process the banking . Class Naming Change A consistent class naming scheme across the whole school has been introduced – so your children will belong to either a Green (Gn) or Gold (Gd) class in each year group. This will enable us to expand consistently to Year 11 and 12 with the same scheme over the next two years. School Leadership Team The structure of the Leadership Team has changed and so have some of the faces. This is likely to mean that you need to talk with different people this year about a particular topic than you did last year. The new structure and function is as follows: Principal K-10(12): Michael Gallagher Assistant Principal K-10(12): Andrew Casey Admin Coodinator K-10(12): Dave Lette Primary REC: Karla Slaven Infants Coordinator: Kylie McNamara Primary Coordinator: Nicole Twohill-Scott Secondary REC: Peta Bischof Curriculum Coordinator 7-10(12): Ben Thomson Wellbeing Coordinator 7-10(12): Sue Whiteley Stage 6 Facilities Construction The plan is that construction will commence in June 2015. Contingency planning is being carried out for the relocation of secondary classes during semester 2.

Preparatory work for that relocation to happen will begin in mid-term 2. Student Medication:

A reminder that teachers and school staff members

are not permitted to administer any medication to

children without signed, written permission and exact

instructions regarding dosage and frequency. The

necessary form is available from the front office.

Student Photos:

From time to time the school may place photos of your

children in the newspaper, newsletter or associated

publications to mark their success in various aspects

of school life. If you have any objections to this

practice, please contact the Principal to discuss the

matter; otherwise the school will presume it has your

permission to publish the photos and names of your

children.

Clothing Pool

Mrs Chantelle Wheeler has generously taken on the

role of manager. Please contact the school for details

about opening times and contact numbers.

4. Our canteen needs volunteers. I don't want to have to go back to pre-packaged food. Below is a request for your help, please consider filling it out and sending back to school as soon as possible so the roster can be made up.

CANTEEN HELP NEEDED Dear Parents/Guardians Welcome to a new school year! Our canteen runs on a voluntary basis and provides freshly prepared food on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. As well as fuelling the children for their school day activities, the canteen provides a service for busy parents by taking lunch preparation off the home agenda and a treat for children on their special days. I am asking for our new families and existing family members to put their hands up to help for just one day a term (or more if you can manage). You would be required from 10.00 am to about 2.30 pm you will be supplied lunch and you may make yourself a cuppa as needed. Everyone in your family is very welcome e.g. Dad’s, Nan’s, Pop’s Aunt’s and Uncle’s. I understand that many of our families help with reading and other things around our school, but it would be very much appreciated if you could give the canteen just one day a term. Children love to see their parents and family members at school. We have lots of fun and it is a good way to get to know other parents at the school and make new friends. The infants are really cute as they come up with their 20 cents or $1 and say “what can I buy with this?”

I am really hoping that all our new (and existing) families will be able to help this year. I am looking forward to meeting you. Please fill out the slip at the end of the community news as soon as possible if you are able to help and send it in to the office or please

ring me on 0427501508. Existing volunteers don’t need to fill out this form. Thank you Donna Stokes - Canteen Manager
