Dear Parents and Carers
This week I attended two Professional development days which focused on presenting meaningful and engaging Student Retreats. It highlighted the need for students to be presented with frequent and purposeful encounters with God. Our core purpose at SSPS is to teach students the Catholic faith traditions and rituals by allowing them the opportunities to learn about concepts, listen and share stories, and take part in rituals which allow them to experience quiet moments that draw them closer to a God who loves them unconditionally.
Please join us this Sunday for our School/Parish Family Mass – Sunday August 27th at 9am St Patrick’s Cathedral. All welcome!
