Acknowledgement of Country:
Good Samaritan Catholic Primary School Fairy Meadow acknowledges and pays respect to the Dharawal and Gweagal people past and present, the traditional custodians of the lands on which our school is built.
Welcome back to Term 2. I hope everyone had a restful holiday and some time to connect with family and friends. Students returned today and arrived ready to learn. There was great excitement to reconnect with classmates and teachers.
The last few Sundays have recounted the road to Emmaus in Luke’s Gospel. This story highlights our own uncertainty and concerns as we share the anxiety of the two disciples as they travel along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. In the disciples' darkest moments on this journey, Jesus reaches out and connects with them where they are at that time.
After spending quality time with Jesus they recognise him and are filled with hope and comfort.
Our hope as a Catholic community is to recognise our Christ walking behind us, beside us and with us. This knowledge that we are never alone can hopefully fill us with hope and comfort.
Mothers’ Day Liturgy & Breakfast
We would like to extend a very special invitation to our mothers, grandmothers, aunties, godmothers and all the special women in our school community to attend our annual Mother's Day morning breakfast on Friday 12 May at 8:15am in the hall. This will be followed by a Liturgy at 9.15am in the church.
Winter Uniform
At Good Samaritan, the Winter Uniform is worn the week following Mother’s day through to the Friday prior to Father’s Day each year. This year's Winter uniform is worn from Monday 15 May.
Parents may use their discretion for the week on either side of these dates based on the weather.
