We are now halfway through the term and still lots of things happening around the
school. This week we will celebrate Mission Day on Thursday to raise funds for the less fortunate in Ghana. We are encouraging the students to bring along some spare change to purchase some small items to raise funds for Catholic Mission. Each item will be 50 cents each.

Thursday 31 st October - Mission Day

Normal classes until 12.30 pm.

12.30 pm - The whole school will be participating in a religion lesson at the same time and implementing the activity/activities that are provided by Catholic Mission.
In the flexible learning space there will be a photo booth so we can photograph the children with their missions and talk to about these promises.
1.10 pm – We will have the mini stalls set up for students to be able to purchase their items. All items will cost 50 cents each.

If there are any parents who would like to help out any of the classes at their stalls, please just see the classroom teacher.

Feast of All Saints

Friday 1st November brings to mind the Feast of All Saints. This day is special in the Catholic liturgical calendar as it is the day that we commemorate the known and unknown saints of the Catholic Church. Each and every one of us is called by God to be saints – followers of Christ. May each of us reflect this week on how we can be more Saint-like.

Saturday 2nd November is All Souls day – the day which we remember and honour those loved ones who have died before us. We pray to God to watch over them and often families will light a candle in the home for them or visit their graveside.

We will be praying a special prayer at Assembly this Friday for All Saints and All Souls with the help of the Year 2 class.

Blessings and wishes for a wonderful weekend,

Amanda
