Dear Parents and Carers of Good Samaritan,

On 15 August the Church celebrates the Feast Day of the Assumption of Our Lady when according to our faith, the Holy Mother, “having completed her course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory”. The Assumption signals the end of Mary’s earthly life and marks her return to heaven to be reunited with Jesus. The Feast of the Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation.

Father in heaven,

all creation rightly gives you praise,

for all life and all holiness come from you.

In the plan of your wisdom

she who bore the Christ in her womb

was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness

and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Congratulations to the boys and girls in Year 3 who received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion on Sunday 11th August. It was a beautiful celebration and I thank all of the staff involved in preparing the students for this significant event in their faith life. Particular thanks are extended to Natalie Shelley, our Religious Education Coordinator, for her outstanding work in assisting our staff and students, and to Fr Bernard Gordon, for his ongoing spiritual support. 

Thank you to all of the parents who attended our Parent information sessions to discuss the Respectful Relationships, Child Safety, Growth, Development and Human Sexuality Education that is occuring in all classes during Term 3. We hope that the sessions were informative and clarified any questions that you have around this important content. Thank you to Mrs Cath Hailstone, our Assistant Principal, for coordinating the sessions and supporting our teaching staff.
