Dear Families,

We warmly invite you to celebrate our Year 4 Mass this Friday 14th February in our Sacred Space at 12pm. All are welcome to attend this community celebration.

It is also the Feast Day of Saint Brothers Cyril and Methodius. Our Year 4s have unpacked their stories and have understood the important role they played in our Church’s history. 

Thanks,
Louise, Simone, Sarah and Gabby

-What did you learn about the saints?
-What are the reasons for the brothers becoming saints?
-Why are they an important part of our church?
-Suppose that the saints didn’t create the Slavic alphabet, what would have happened?

Dear Students and Families,

We all know what it feels like to be happy. We may experience happiness through morning prayer, outside break times, reading a favourite book, or sharing a meal with our family.

A very common practise of appreciating our lives and experiencing happiness frequently is through gratitude.

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful;
readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

In Year 4, we would love for all students (families you are encouraged to join in as well!) to show how grateful they are through a daily journal. We are asking students to bring in a small notebook that will be used as their ‘Gratitude Journal’ by the end of this week.

If you have any questions, please ask your homegroup teacher.

Thanks,
Louise, Simone and Gabby

 

Dear Students and Families,

A very warm welcome back to school for 2020. We hope you have all taken the time to rest and recharge over the holiday break.

 As we commence our school year together, here are some helpful reminders:

• Ensure your uniform is clearly labelled with your first and surname
• Art smocks, headphones, and sunscreen should also be clearly labelled with your name and placed into your tubs
• Don’t forget to bring in your lunch and brain food in a small container
• It is a Sun Smart term, you must remember to wear a labelled SMCM school hat during outside break times.
  

Looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year together!
Gabby, Louise, Sarah and Simone
