Today was our Feast of the Sacred Heart Day!

It was a day of celebrating who we are as a community and how we live our mission to 'be on Earth the heart of God'.

Our Parish Priests are of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Order (MSC) and 'heart spirituality' underpins their charism. One well known MSC priest, James Maher, once wrote:

A Spirituality of the Heart is a way of living – a way of being in the world…a journey to be travelled (with others),…an energy that sustains and moves us, a dance in which we are participating… a way of being in the world, in relationship to self, others and God; a way of coming to rest within ourselves, at our deepest centre.” 

These words describe perfectly my own educational mission. Not only do we empower every student by providing them with the best possible educational opportunities within our capacity, we also walk with them through this formative part of life, helping to mould and shape them with values and ideas that enable them to understand deeply their own value, the value of others and the value of all creation. In short, we build upon the wonderful work of parents and families to remind them that they can walk through the world with love. This is how we 'be on Earth the heart of God'.

Thank you to our REC, Mrs Stephanie Stewart, for all of her hard work in preparing for this day. We celebrated Mass, raised funds for St George's in Kenya, enjoyed fun activities between classes. It was a wonderful day.

Visit by Mr Peter Cain

Peter Cain MLA, a Liberal elected member for our electorate, visited our school yesterday to learn about our school and to find out if we need any assistance at all. He met with Samson and Hudson, our school captains, along with myself and Katie Matthews, Community Council Chairperson.

Mr Cain is a great supporter of non-government schools and providing parents with the opportunity to choose the school that best serves their family and children. He is keen to support all people within his electorate and we appreciate the time he took to connect with us. We will always welcome all elected members to our school community.

School Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews

Just a reminder that Semester One Student Reports come home on Wednesday. As mentioned in previous Newsletters, we are transitioning to new reporting software across our system and our school reports don't allow for comments this semester. We will hold Parent-Teacher Interviews in Week 10. The booking system for these will open this coming Tuesday.

I hope you all enjoy a lovely long weekend.
