A prayer for the Year Six students who celebrated Reconciliation last week.

God who forgives us, 

God whose forgiveness leads us back into relationship: 

with the grace we have received from you. 

Let us work to mend what forgiveness makes possible. 

May we stress not a desire to be proved right, 

but a desire to make things right. 

Amen.

Happy Easter and Happy Holidays

I hope that everyone enjoys a well-earned break.

I would like to congratulate our children on a wonderful term remembering that for many older students this has been their first full face-to-face term for two years.  The children have overcome regular Rapid Antigen Tests, mask wearing and extended time off as positive cases or household contacts to remain joyful and positive.  Thanks to all of our families who have negotiated the protocols to help keep our school open and safe.

Staffing Updates

Pat Allen is on Long Service Leave for Week 1, 2 and 3 next term.  Catherine Lee will replace Pat as Assistant Principal Daily Organisation.  Nell Mitchell will replace Catherine in F4 during this time.

Melanie Alexander returns to B1 in Term 2.  Many thanks to Louis O’Connor for stepping in for Melanie this term and to Elise Smock who has been very flexible in doing extra days to maintain consistency for the B1 class.

Fire Day 2022

Thanks to the Warrnambool Fire for their support for our fundraiser last Friday.

Our final total was $2,226 which will be sent to the Cottee family this week. Thanks to everyone for their generosity and support. 

Regards
Matthew O'Brien, Principal
