Ash Wednesday
Last Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. Lent is a time to prepare our hearts and minds to become a better version of ourselves, and to become more like Jesus. The disciplines of Lent - Prayer, fasting and almsgiving - help us prepare for Easter.
St Joseph's Feast Day
Staff and Students are excited to celebrate the Feast day of our School Patron, St Joseph, with a Prayer service held in the classroom on Wednesday 19th March. Students are invited to wear blue and yellow clothing to school on this day.
St Joseph was a working man, a carpenter, but he used his hands to also do God's work in his life.
Easter Raffle
The year 6 leaders will hold an Easter Egg raffle to raise funds for Project Compassion - Caritas. Caritas Australia is the international aid and development organisation of the Catholic Church in Australia.
Any donations from families would be greatly appreciated.
Easter Hat Parade
St Joseph's will hold an Easter Hat Parade this term, with the date to be confirmed. Students are encouraged to start planning their wonderful and creative hats, incorporating bright colours and the symbols of Easter. More details to come!
Many thanks,
Stacey Braun
