“Be a gift of love and compassion for one another.”

Blessed Mary Mackillop

Welcome to Week 7 Term 4,

This week at the children’s liturgy Father delivered a

very poignant Gospel about a rich man and a number

of his servants. We reflected on how each man acted

and some of the reasons for their actions. A reading

that definitely sparked a lot of thought. I would like

to acknowledge the children that took part on the

weekend to make our children’s liturgy a success.

Thank you to Miss McKinnon for organising the mass

and the children for participating so excellently.

We had our final school Council meeting last night.

Thank you to all that attended to discuss important

events that affect our school. The schools AGM will

be held early next year and all are very welcome.

Our schools presentation night is fast approaching

and we would love to see as many people there as

possible. We will have a mass followed by the

presentation of awards also acknowledgement of our

year 6 graduates. Further information will be

distributed over the coming weeks.

A big thank you to those that have donated prizes for

our Christmas raffle. Please remember cash donations

are also welcomed as we are aware people are all very

busy at this time of year. We would greatly

appreciate if these prizes were brought in the

Monday or Tuesday prior.

Have a great week,

Josh

St Joseph’s School Council will again be

consists of parents and businesses donating

vouchers and monetary donations are

welcomed. We will use the money to purchase

gifts as we know people are very busy.

We really need your support, as this is a

major fundraiser for the School Council. We

are hoping for donations early to avoid asking

for these at a very expensive time of year.

Please contact the School Office if you have

any questions.

Thank you again for your support.

from 8.30am to 12.00 noon.
