St Joseph’s Feast Day
Today marks the feast day of our patron saint St Joseph. The feast day of St Joseph, celebrated on March 19th, honours the life and legacy of St Joseph. Today we were blessed to celebrate as a school community with a Learning Showcase, special prayer service and BBQ lunch. Thank you to all who joined us today. It was lovely to come together as a community to celebrate. We also thank our wonderful Community Council for providing the BBQ lunch and slices.
Who was St Joseph?
St Joseph was the earthly father of Jesus and the husband of Mary. St Joseph was a carpenter, a working man and worked hard to provide for his family. St Joseph’s lived a faithful life with humility and unwavering dedication to God’s will. As we celebrate the feast day of St Joseph, let us be reminded to follow his example in our daily lives.
How can we be like St Joseph and use our own hands to do God’s work in our lives?
Easter in a Box
On Wednesday 27th March, all students will participate in an Easter activity at school that requires a shoe box. Please bring your shoe box to school by Tuesday 26th March. If you have any spare shoe boxes at home, it would be greatly appreciated if you can bring them to school. We have decided to do this activity instead of an Easter Hat parade as it will be held every second year.
Easter Raffle
Our Year 6 leaders are running an Easter raffle to raise money for Project Compassion - Caritas. Caritas Australia is the international aid and development organisation of the Catholic Church in Australia.
Year 6 leaders are selling tickets each day during recess and lunch for $2 each.
The Easter raffle will be drawn after our Easter in a Box activity on Wednesday 27th March.
