Welcome back to Term 2! I trust that you all had a restful and peaceful break with family and friends. Over the course of the holidays we experienced the joy of Easter as well as paid our respects to all service men and women, past and present, who strive for peace in our world. We commemorated ANZAC Day upon returning to school yesterday with our first whole school liturgy. It was a wonderful feeling being able to gather as a community without having to social distance and cohort. On a similar note, we are excited to be able to host school masses again with our patron saints feast day just around the corner on Wednesday 25^th May.

During our staff professional development day on Tuesday, we were joined by Fr Trenton to lead us in mass. It was a lovely way to recharge our spiritual batteries before the commencement of the school term. I would like to extend a welcome to our Parish Masses held on the 4^th Sunday each month during school term to gather as a wider parish community at 9:30am, St Peter Chanel’s, Yarralumla. Please bookmark the 29^th May and 26^th June for this term's masses. If you are available to assist with readings, altar serving and/or singing in the choir, please email ben.macintyre@cg.catholic.edu.au.

God Bless,

Ben Macintyre

It is nearly that time for Open Day on 6 May, where we invite prospective families to visit our wonderful school.  We are again asking for parent volunteers to assist with the distribution of corflute advertising signs.  If you are able to assist over this weekend or at the beginning of next week, please email breen.fox@cg.catholic.edu.au to organise collection and distribution.  We are looking to expand our advertising area to include Jerrabomberra.  If you live in this area and can assist, we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your support in advance.
