Happy Final Newsletter for 2021,
An Advent Prayer
Loving God, as we come closer to celebrating the feast of Christmas, may we take time to bring hope and joy to others.
Give us open hearts and hands so that we may become people of peace and love, generous with all we have and willing to share it with others.
We ask this prayer in Jesus’ name.
Dear Parents and Carers,
As expected, the last couple of weeks have been quite busy and so I have included a few photos so you get just a taste of the busyness of school life.
AWARD RECIPIENTS: Congratulations to the following students who have received special end of semester awards, presented at today's assembly.
Catherine McAuley Award
Congratulations Edge Luck
Edge has shown the same compassion and caring attitude throughout his schooling life, as Catherine McAuley generously gave during her life. This award is a gift from St Patrick’s Cathedral, acknowledging the great work St Saviour’s Primary does to engender wonderfully Christ-like values in our school community.
Catherine’s mother taught her independence, dignity, charm and compassion which influenced her entire life. Edge is growing in the same way. He is committed to quality, continuous learning and improvement. He treats everyone with respect, accepting their right to spiritual, emotional and physical safety and care.
In Catherine’s words;
“The simplest and most practical lesson I know . . .
is to resolve to be good today,
but better tomorrow”.
Catherine McAuley.
Mahdi Baptism from Prep T: Last Friday Prep T gathered with Mahdi and his family to share the special occasion of his Baptism. We were so privileged to be a part of this special occasion.
St Vincent De Paul Grocery Gather: Thank you to everyone who donated to the Year 5s' Service Project where they collected items for our local branch of St V de Paul. Terry Ryan accepted our donations which he said will be gladly shared to those of our local community who need some help this Christmas period.
Final Week:
In the last week, we have seen Mr Luck, setting up his office in his Sports Shed, due to a lack of space (and probably to avoid the crowd in the library!!) and 1S making their own Christmas decorations, using some of their STEM skills!
St Patrick's Cathedral Parish 2022 Sacramental Program: 2022 Year 4 students and families are reminded to complete and submit their Enrolment Form if they wish to take part in the Sacramental Program which commences Week 4 of Term 1 next year.
The Enrolment Form, plus copy of Baptism Certificate is to be handed in either to the Parish or School Office early next year.
Sergeant Kirsty Gleeson (our SSPS Adopt a Cop) had class visits this week, reminding our students, prior to the holidays about Protective Behaviours (Staying Safe) and also Respectful/ Sensible Behaviours in general.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and joy-filled Christmas break!
