Jesus the Good Shepherd

Last weekend, the Church celebrated “Jesus the Good Shepherd.” In the Gospel of John, Jesus declares, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). Just as Jesus tends to His flock with gentleness and care, we are tasked with fostering a nurturing environment where our children can grow in faith, love, and understanding. As we entrust our children to the loving care of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, let us take comfort in knowing that they are held in the palm of His hand. May we, as parents and guardians, strive to cultivate a faith-filled environment where Christ's teachings are heard and lived out in our daily lives.

ANZAC Day

On Wednesday, we acknowledged ANZAC Day with a prayer service led by our Year 6 students; today, our Year 5 students shared an ANZAC Assembly. ANZAC Day commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. We reflect on the impact of war, conflict, and peacekeeping operations in Australia’s history and pray for those involved in wars, their families, and for peace.

Levels of Behaviour

We have introduced a school-wide behaviour system known as "Levels of Behaviour,” which will be fully implemented this term. This consistent approach ensures a common understanding among children and adults about behaviour. Every class has crafted a Purpose Statement defining students' reasons for attending school. Additionally, they have commenced identifying helpful and unhelpful behaviours.

God Bless
