Thursday 7th December: Nativity Performance

Students should arrive at school by 5:30pm wearing their base costume and go directly to their classrooms where they will put on the rest of their costume. They will be supervised by school staff until the show begins at 6pm. We anticipate that the performance will conclude by 7pm.

MLC Melbourne Zoo Excursion

Our MLC students have been learning about the main climatic zones and the biomes of the world. Their Zoo experience this week consolidated their understandings of flora, fauna, locations and weather patterns of the different biomes.

Term 4, Week 9 

IT’S ADVENT! 

Advent is the Church season leading up to Christmas. It is a time of waiting and preparing our hearts (and homes) for the birth of Jesus into the world.  This first week, we focus on the theme of ‘hope’ - igniting the flame of expectation in our hearts and minds. As we gather in the warmth of the Advent season, we joyfully embrace the first week of this sacred journey. Let us carry this sense of hope forward, uniting us in acts of kindness and compassion, embodying the essence of Advent. Together, as a Catholic school community, we eagerly await the birth of Jesus, embracing the promise of hope that illuminates our path.

Wishing you a week filled with hope and anticipation.

Expressions Of Interest - 2024 SAC

St Mary's is looking for expressions of interest for the 2024 School Advisory Council (SAC). The SAC is made up of a range of parents who work with the Principal and the Parish Priest. We meet once per term from 6pm-7:30pm (at the latest). The SAC provides a forum for discussion and discernment. We value parent voice and perspectives as these help to inform and support the decisions made by the Principal for the good of school.
Please email Roxanne should you wish to be involved

Holy Spirit Parish - Sacrament Program

For Parents of Children Ready for First Eucharist and Confirmation in Ararat

Parents of children ready for First Eucharist and Confirmation are invited to a meeting at the parish office on Tuesday December 5.

The meeting will be at 3.30pm and repeated at 5.30pm.

This invitation is for parents of children nearing the end of Yr 2 and above.

Why so late in the year?

We had a meeting some months ago and nobody came. (Not advertised well enough?)

While children in Stawell celebrated their sacraments this year, Ararat missed out. We decided to wait a while and set the meeting again.

After the meeting your child's preparation can begin immediately and the sacraments celebrated early next year.
