From the Principal
Donation
Thanks so much to Tully Park Golf Club who ran a charity day recently and presented the school with a $1030 donation. It will be used for Maths Equipment. We appreciate their generosity.
Soccer Club Presentation
The soccer club presentation was held on Sunday and it was lovely to have an opportunity to personally thank all the coaches & managers who have helped with players & games. Michelle Randall has been the chief organiser and president of the club for the past few years and she has done wonderful job attending meetings, organising equipment, informing families and recruiting players, coaches & managers. She is stepping down from her role and it was a priviledge to award her a life membership of the Soccer Club to thank her for all her efforts.
End of Term Events
As the year draws to end it will be wonderful to have parents, family & friends to attend our end of year celebrations.
We are having a whole School Carols celebration on 7th December that begins with a BBQ at 5.30pm, followed by Christmas Carols involving all classes at 7pm. I especially look forward to Kinder presenting the Christmas Story! On this evening we will also take the opportunity to thank all the families leaving our school. Some have been here a long time and have been great helpers at sports days, P&F functions and on the School Community Council. They have done a great job and I am sure it must be heartening to see the school growing, with younger parents keen to step in to take their place and continue to help the school to be a great community with wonderful facilities. Don’t forget to put that date in the diary.
Peter & Paul’s Old Cathedral Reopening
Last Friday on a beautiful spring evening I was privileged to have a sneak peak at the Restoration of the Cathedral. It has been freshly painted, the floor restored, the roof retiled & leaks fixed and the outside brick work fixed amongst lots of other work. With all the windows cleaned & restored the light of the setting sun was able to shine through and show the best details of the Cathedral. Cathedrals & churches exist as structures for us to come away from our busy lives, enter a special place to pray & worship God. The beauty of the Cathedral brings about a sense of joy and wonder and reverence.
We look forward to being able to experience this when we celebrate our end of year Mass & Yr 6 Graduation on 6th December at 10 am.
