Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and Students,

Last Thursday 26 May was Sorry Day and the commencement of  Reconciliation Week. These events are very significant for our nation. This year the theme of Reconciliation Week is “Be Brave. Make Change.” This is a challenge to all Australians— individuals, families, communities, organisations and government—to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians. As a school community we came together in prayer to acknowledge this important event and I would like to thank Mrs Spiteri and Miss Benson, our Aboriginal Education School Support Officer, who coordinated a very reverent and spiritual liturgy. 

"God of love and justice, we pray for those who still suffer sadness 

because of the government policies of the past, 

may they be healed by us walking the talk of your Gospel command to love. 

Help us all to learn the message of justice taught by Pope Francis 

who has instructed us to go out and 

interact with all our sisters and brothers."

On Saturday night I had the pleasure to join with the parish community at the Saturday vigil Mass in supporting our Year Three students from St Anthony’s and children from other schools in their preparation for the celebration of First Holy Communion. I ask that you join with the parish in keeping the students in your prayers, as they continue to prepare for this wonderful sacramental celebration. 

Take Care
