Sacramental News: Confirmation Commitment Mass
We gathered at St Bernard’s Parish Church on Saturday and Sunday to witness the students who are participating in the Sacrament of Confirmation participate in their Rite of Commitment.
Thank you to Father Rex Curry for welcoming the families and ensuring that the Mass was memorable for the students.
On the 12th of June, all of the Year 6 students will attend Carroll College for a retreat day. This event is now live, and permission can be provided via Compass. We look forward to a fun-filled day with the students of St Mary’s Primary School and the Carroll College Ministry Team. A big thank you to Mrs Belle Barling from Carroll College for all of her work in organising this day.
Key Dates:
Mini Vinnies News - Winter Appeal
We are very proud of our Mini Vinnies team for 2025. They have been working very hard to think of ways to support other people in our community.
Our fundraising focus for Term 2 is the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
You can purchase a student-designed ‘snowflake’ on QKR for $5, $10 or $20, and these funds will be used to purchase items to support families during the winter months. Items might include warm blankets and gloves.
As part of our fundraising efforts, we are inviting students to come to school on Tuesday 3 June with ‘crazy’ hair that is inspired by our winter theme and to bring a gold coin donation.
If you could support your child to choose a hairstyle that is appropriate and in the spirit of raising awareness around those people who need our support during these winter months.
This may include wearing a hair accessory, a hat, a beanie or adding a little bit of temporary coloured hair spray. Please be mindful that the students will be required to be able to wash out or remove the ‘fun’ hairstyle or colour ready for school on Wednesday. Prizes for the best hair will be awarded.
We will also have a cupcake stall on this day. Cupcakes will be $1:00 each.
Contact Mrs Keough if you have any questions.
Begin With The Heart
Congratulations to 4LH who won the Begin With The Heart class challenge for Week 5. The class challenge was to follow the HEART Honesty: I do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
Our students will now focus on an empathy value for the coming two weeks: I treat others how I would like to be treated. Students will be rewarded with hearts in their classroom heart jar whenever they demonstrate this value.
Kind regards,
Beck
