Canberra Day Holiday
This weekend we celebrate our beautiful city's 108th birthday. Enjoy your holiday Monday and be safe if travelling.
200 Years of Catholic Education in the Archdiocese
Mrs Imbriano, myself and two of our year 5 students (Leila W and Olivia G) had the pleasure of attending the Mass to celebrate 200 Years of Catholic Education last Wednesday morning. I was able to reflect on my association with Catholic Education and the important role it played in my life and many thousands of children. It was a beautiful celebration.
As we take our Lenten Journey
Two interesting ideas for ways in which your family could continue to actively participate in the Lenten Journey from last weeks Catholic voice.
Serve 40 ways in 40 days.
Get creative about ways in which you can help those who you interact with every day. This could be as simple as helping mum bring the shopping bags in from the car after a shopping trip, or volunteering to take the rubbish out, or even just cleaning up a room in the house without bragging about it. Doing it secretly makes it more fun, anyway!
Practise Being Present.
This one applies especially to older kids and young teens. Commit to putting down your phones (or other electronic device) whenever someone is present with them. Even better, create phone-free zones around the house, like the dinner table or living rooms. Learn to spend good quality time with those around you.
Principal’s Retreat
I headed off to the Catholic Leader's Day and Principal’s Retreat on Tuesday afternoon. I look forward to the professional dialogue with colleagues on Wednesday and the days of reflection and prayer on Thursday and Friday.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Take care and God bless,
