Welcome   Community   Hospitality

Last week, our Year 6 class was visited by Anna Jimenez, the Director of Catholic Missions in our diocese. Anna spent time outlining the role of Catholic Missions in assisting the underprivileged in our world and suggesting opportunities where some of our students could act on this need. The Year 6 class decided that they would like to embrace the Socktober Challenge next term to raise funds that can be then donated back to Catholic Missions. Socktober draws on Human Dignity, Solidarity, Common Good, Preferential Option for the Poor, Stewardship of Creation, Promotion of Peace, and Participation and Subsidiarity among others. More information about our fundraising will be available next term.

As you would be aware, Queen Elizabeth II moved on to eternal life recently. The Queen was a wonderful role model in so many ways and it was widely known that she attributed her strong faith to her success in her role as a leader. I would like to leave you with one of her quotes that I believe resonates with many of us.

“I know just how much I rely on my faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning. I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God!” (Queen Elizabeth II, 2002)
