Principal's Message
Dear St Monica’s families and friends,
This week we celebrated our incredible school patron, St Monica. We began the day with a Mass in her honour and sincerely thank Fr Mick for presiding the Mass.
Upon our return to school, all classes headed out on to the track for our annual walk-a-thon! Huge thanks to Mrs Lloyd, Ms Larkins and Mrs Friend for making sure the track was safe, to all of our parent volunteers and Team Kids crew who manned the checkpoints, walked with our students and handed out the ice blocks!
The afternoon was an absolute hit with the surprise of a Silent Disco, whether you were dancing away to the orange or purple song list, it was smiles all round on the hall floor…. including the adults. I am amazed the students love and know all the words to so many songs from decades ago!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Loving God,
We pray for all of our amazing dads, father figures and those in our community who step into the role of dad, to care and support our beautiful children. May they reflect your grace and guidance in their journey of raising and nurturing their children.
We pray for those who mourn the loss of their dad, particularly at this time. Surround them with your peace as we continue to comfort them with our love and strength.
Amen.
This weekend we are celebrating all dads and important male role models in our lives. Join us tomorrow morning, in the courtyard, for a free donut and coffee whilst we wait to have the annual “Footy Kick off” event. We will have cool dad tunes pumping and some sweet dad jokes to take you into the weekend laughing. Throughout the day students will have an opportunity to purchase a special something for dad at the Father's Day stall.
School Musical – As you would be aware preparations and rehearsals for our musical ‘Somewhere between here there and everywhere’ are in full swing. It is about this time in a production, where we are thinking, “oh my, are we going to be ready” “It’s in exactly 2 weeks” “we haven’t even had a start to finish rehearsal yet” But….. everything is coming together and I send a very special thanks to Mrs Pearson who has been instrumental in directing and producing this amazing event ready for showtime in Week 8. Bookings are now live on trybooking.com. Please refer to the Compass alert and information below in today’s newsletter.
BABY NEWS!!! Congratulations to big sister Frankie in KW and family, on the arrival of their baby brother and son Benny!
Peace and blessings,
