Religious News: Thursday the 14^th of December.

Combined Churches Choir

Thank you to our wonderful choir who sang beautifully on Sunday night.  it was very special.  Thank you and a big thank you to parents who brought their children out on a Sunday night to support us.  I know that this time of year is busy and exhausting but your support was appreciated.  We had many compliments regarding our choir. Well done to all, we are so very proud of you.  A big thank you also to Julie Papworth for playing on the night as well as her weekly practises with our students.

The Sunday we light the Third Advent Candle.  It is rose in colour and symbolises joy.  The change in colour reminds us that we are at the midpoint of Advent and we are getting close to Christmas – the day of Jesus’ birth.  https://bustedhalo.com/video/watch-advent-two-minutes

Advent Prayer Service:  Thank you to Grades Three and Four for leading us in a beautiful Advent Prayer Service on Tuesday.  We will celebrate our final Advent Prayer Service on Tuesday the 19^th of December.  This will be led by the Junior Grades and will commence at 9:00 am in the Junior Learning Space.  Everyone is invited.

End of Year Mass:

Thank you to all classes for their participation in our Graduation Mass.  Thank you to Father Antony.  This was the last School Mass that Father Antony will celebrate with us.  We will all miss him very much and we wish him well in his new Parish.  Our Grades Five and Six led us through the Mass, our Grades Three and Four, for their singing and the Grades Prep, One and Two for the Nativity Play.  Well done everyone.  It was great to be able to celebrate this with our families.

Kind Regards and Merry Christmas,

Sue Benc
