As this term progresses the children will become excited about the approaching Christmas season. It is very important that the children remain focused and settled throughout Term 4. When the children begin to bring Christmas cards, candy canes and the like to school too early they tend to ‘tune out’. It is for this reason, and the fact that waiting is a part of our Catholic Christian tradition with the season of Advent, that the children may begin to bring Christmas cards, candy canes etc for their classmates from the end of Week 9 – Friday 9 December. 

The evening of Friday 9 December is our combined Parish and Schools’ Christmas Concert. The children have been practising their part of the concert. It will be a wonderful evening of Christmas celebration for us to have together.

Please begin to speak to your children about appreciating the card,  gift or candy cane that they receive no matter who it is from and that when they give something they shouldn’t always expect something in return.
