Dear Parents and Carers,

End of Year Mass

I would like to thank Miss Braun for the enormous amount of work that went into the preparation of yesterday's Mass. Not only was the Adelong Showground Pavilion brilliantly transformed into ‘our church’ for the day, but the Mass itself was a wonderful celebration of our Catholic school community and acknowledgement of our departing students. Thank you Miss Braun! Along with Miss Braun’s efforts, was that of our Year Six students, Maureen Hayes and Ash Annetts who cleaned, decorated and assisted Miss Braun in these preparations.

Award Winners and 2023 School Leaders

Congratulations to all of our end of year award recipients. As mentioned yesterday, I am extremely proud of our Year Five students for the manner they delivered their speeches in Week 8, along with their positive response to each other's success yesterday. You are going to be a great team in 2023.

Farewell

I would like to once again share my gratitude for the manner I have been welcomed into the Adelong community. I have very fond memories that I take with me. I wish our families a Merry Christmas, and a restful, safe and enjoyable time with family and friends.

O Glorious St. Christopher you have inherited a beautiful name, Christ-bearer, as a result of the wonderful legend that while carrying people across a raging stream you also carried the Child Jesus. Teach us to be true Christ-bearers to those who do not know Him. Protect all of us that travel both near and far and petition Jesus to be with us always. Amen.

Enjoy the break,

Ryan Forsyth

Acting Principal
