Our Lady of Lourdes Primary Newsletter

This morning , Year 2 led the school in a reflective liturgy to celebrate the gift of mothers. 

We celebrated and prayed for the special women in our lives. Women we call mothers and women who have loved and cared for us. We celebrated our Mother Mary, mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, aunties, family friends and carers. 

Let the inspiration of Mary, who offered constant love to all people, be a model for all those who care for others.

Reflective words from K-6.

Mothers are incredibly special because they give us our wonderful life.

Ongoing smiles and overall love and care you give to us. Out of this world, you are the number one mum because you outshine the brightest stars in the sky for the following reasons:- you always take care of us, you pick us up when we fall and when we need help and encouragement, you help us achieve success in what we do. You are simply outstanding.

Thank you to all mums for your love, your kindness and your warmth. Thank you for your guidance and support as we grow each day.

Here and there and everywhere, our mothers love us anywhere. Her laughter fills my heart and her kindness fills the air. Her hugs are amazing and warm me up when I sit in the chair. Her smile lights up the room and her helping hands will always share.

Every one of our mothers are special, kind and caring. We love our mums and they love us. They guide us, protect us and support us in everything we do. Thank you mums. 

Remarkable women who show us the way. Respectful and loving to us every day. Resilient people who teach us to love, raising us to be the best we can be. Respectful, Reliable, Resilient, Remarkable are our mums.

She loves me more than anyone else because she takes me to fun places to play. She makes me yummy cupcakes.
