 Last day of school for  2022 for the children.

We are very excited for our whole school to be off to visit Scienceworks this Term on 25th November. The focus will be in the  Inquiry/Science/Earth & Space Learning areas. The P-3 and 4-6 will have  a different Learning Focus and will attend different exhibits at Scienceworks. It will be lovely to be able to go as a whole school to experience this very special learning opportunity.

Term 4 dates:    Friday 18th November, Friday 25th November ( cancelled - due to Whole School Excursion) Friday 2nd December.

Thank you to Anne Maree Noonan who planned a lovely mass for Remembrance day today. Our Year Prep to Year 6 children all attended this very important occassion. It is a day to remember the 'armitice agreement' ( Armitice Day) that ended the First World War. It was then renamed Remembrance Day. Today the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts is commemorated on Remembrance Day - the 11 hour, of the 11 day, of the 11 month.

It was also lovely to see some of our parents join us for this special occassion.

Re -scheduled: 

• Friday 18th November
• Wednesday 23rd November

The children will need to wear Sports Uniform on these days.

SAVE THE DATE

Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th November

This week marks the final week of Ordinary Time in the Church’s liturgical calendar and draws us almost to the end of our journey through the gospel of Luke. Next week’s reading of the crucifixion concludes the Year of Luke. It is in this context that we need to read today’s gospel passage. Jesusand his disciples are gathered around the Temple in Jerusalem in the final days before he is to be put to death. The end is imminent and Jesus takes the opportunity to reassure the disciples that, although they are about to experience a period of distress, betrayal and persecution that will stretch well into the future, ultimately, God’s love and mercy will triumph – not only in their own lives but also in theworld. The language of passages like today’s gospel can be off-putting at times and can also be seized upon by those who would interpret scripture literally. The graphic descriptions certainly lendthemselves to predictions of gloom and doom. However, we must also remember that the gospel was written some 50 or more years after the death of Jesus. At the time of writing, many of these things had already come to pass. The message for the community who were suffering through these very experiences is that they should not despair because all of this was anticipated by Jesus and that ultimately the reign of God will come about and the effort and distress that they have endured will bevindicated. Unfortunately, the lectionary has the passage concluding at verse 19; the complete passage continues on for another 17 verses and so we don’t get the full effect of Jesus’ speech. In thelatter portion, Jesus assures the disciples that the kingdom will surely come to pass. It is a promise that we affirm every time we say the Creed.
