FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Families,
Hooray! We are back on site!
The ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown has worked and students and staff were able to return to learning within classrooms and school grounds.
I thank everyone for your support and flexibility during these unpredictable times. Our families have been incredible, our students have shown resilience and our staff have prioritised student learning and wellbeing. What a fabulous community!
Please find below reminders of the restrictions that continue and/or are now in place to ensure that we can operate safely within a ‘COVID normal’ world.
In line with Government and Catholic Education guidelines, parent access to the school grounds and buildings will continue to be minimised. If you can communicate with teachers or administration staff via phone or email please do so. We understand that there will be occasions when it is necessary for parents and carers to attend onsite. On these occasions please ensure that you:
- Wear a face mask
- Register with our QR code
- Maintain social distancing
- Use hand sanitiser
ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash Wednesday is an important time for our Catholic community. It marks the beginning of the season of Lent. A time of prayer, repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately celebration.
From Jan Richardson’s Blessing of the Dust;
This is the moment
we ask for the blessing
that lives within
the ancient ashes,
that makes its home
inside the soil of
this ancient earth.
So let us be marked
not for sorrow.
And let us be marked
not for shame.
Let us be marked
not for false humility
or for thinking
we are less
than we are
But for claiming
what God can do
within the dust,
within the dirt
within the stuff
of which the world
is made
and the stars that blaze
in our bones
and the galaxies that spiral
inside the smudge we bear
Every blessing for this Lenten season
Roxanne
