Week 2 Newsletter 

Welcome to Term 2! I hope you had a restful break. 

Professional Development

Last Monday staff from St Joseph’s Adelong, St Mary’s Batlow, St Patrick’s Gundagai and McAuley Catholic College, gathered at McAuley Catholic school to participate in our annual Staff Spirituality Day. 

The theme for the day was ‘Walking Together’, where we unpacked the piece of scripture ‘The Walk to Emmaus’ - Luke 24:13-35. We looked at why synodality is important to the evangelising mission of the Church and how people are invited to proclaim and witness the Gospel. 

Catholic Schools Week

This week is Catholic Schools Week across our diocese. Catholic Schools Week is about recognising and celebrating the excellence of Catholic schools. Each year, Catholic schools observe the celebration through a variety of activities, emphasising the importance of Catholic education

It was lovely celebrating Catholic Schools Week today with Mass and our Learning Showcase. 

Children’s Mass 

The school will present Mass on Sunday 7th May. We would love as many families as possible to come and share this Parish Mass. If you are able to attend, and would like your child to participate, please email me so that I can distribute the Readings.
