St Mary's Bulletin

We tell the truth and act truthfully.

This year’s Trinity Sunday falls on 12 June. It falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost, which is the 50th day after Easter. The day honours the descent of the Holy Spirit on Jesus’ apostles and followers. Trinity Sunday celebrates the Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Churches celebrate the occasion with symbols of fire, wind, and a dove – which makes this Sunday the perfect occasion to hold the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

Please be mindful when driving out of the Church carpark and turning left onto South Avenue. Several cars have been driving too quickly past the student crossing. The student crossing is near the bus pick up point and allows students who are walking or riding to cross South Avenue safely. Please slow down to ensure the safety of all our students.

Our annual Life Link Fundraiser took place on Wednesday 8 June. Students were invited to support the Life Link Agencies by taking the opportunity to wear their pyjamas for a gold coin donation. Together we raised $223.95 which will support the many agencies Life Link assists throughout Western Australia. Thank you to everyone for their support.

On Thursday, 9 June, the Year Six class participated in their Confirmation Retreat Day. More information and photos will be included in the Week Eight Newsletter.

Parents and Friends are invited and encouraged to attend the Sacrament of Confirmation this Sunday, 12 June at 10.30am at St Mary’s Parish. We wish our candidates – Archie Gethin, Tomas Kraske-Beck and Skye Wilson all the very best for the sacrament and beyond.

Paul Read from WACFL will be coming to St Mary’s School on Tuesday 14 June to facilitate Football Clinics for our students from Pre-Primary – Year Six. Students may wear their sports uniform with white polo shirt on this day.

The Winter Carnival for students in Year Three – Year Six will be held on Thursday 16 June at the Recreation Ground. Please see the information on skoolbag sent by Mrs Kate Crees for details. If you are available to help on the day, please contact Mrs Crees as soon as possible.

We wish our students all the very best for this upcoming event.

We invite and encourage our school community to attend our Whole School Mass on Friday 17 June to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart Mass. The Mass will commence at 9.00am at St Mary’s Parish and will be led by our Year Two class.

Have a great weekend!
