Week 9 Update...How did that Happen?!

Welcome to Week 9!

I feel like it was week 4 and then suddenly we are looking down the barrel of 9 days left...what! 

First Eucharist - We had the most amazing experience this morning celebrating Zoe, Jett, Tom and Keenan as they received Eucharist for the first time.

They were so reverent, respectful and present and it was such a joy and privilege to be a part of this...absolutely blown away by them and their beautiful families!

I had a number of people from the congregation come up to me after mass had finished to congratulate the children on their participation...including two lovely ladies down at Dome!

We were also super lucky to have the amazing band support us today...the music was on point and added so much to the ambience of the morning. So grateful to those students that gave up their Saturday night and Sunday morning to support us!

Congratulations again to Jett, Zoe, Keenan & Tom!

 





As part of the service, the candidates read the following prayer which I have included here as a reminder to keep these families in our prayers.

A prayer for Ukraine

Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices. 

We pray for the world that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. 

May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world. 

Amen

REMINDERS - WEEK 9 

Parent Meetings - If I have requested a meeting with you, I would have made contact with you last week to organise a Teams meeting. 

If you make sure that you are in and waiting a couple of minutes beforehand to ensure the tech all works...I have meetings every day and I am very mindful of being on time for each one, if you can please help me with this I would be most grateful!

If I am running late, I apologise...I will be there, I promise!

If you would like to request a meeting with me, please feel free to email me to set up a time to make this happen. 

We will schedule these meetings for Week 10 as I am fully booked this week, but please do get in touch if you would like to!

At the conclusion of our meeting, I will finalise our meeting notes, scan and then send them through to for your reference!

Laptops - last week, we had a number of laptops each day that came to school not charged. 

I don't have a charger to for the students to use and they are not supposed to bringing their chargers. 

If you can please have a chat with your child about getting them into the habit of placing them on charge on Sunday and Wednesday nights for example so they can get through the week!

Pupil Free Day - A reminder that students finish Term 1 on Thursday 7th April.

Congratulations to Zoe Starr, our award card winner for this week!


Wishing you all a fantastic week, I look forward to seeing many of you for the first time!

Kindest regards,

Mrs Delane

A Couple of Reminders

Go od afternoon parents, Mrs Horrocks has asked for me to post some information about the upcoming Musical 'Go Fish' on Friday 8th June (Week 6) this term.  If you have any questions about the performance, including costumes or the logistics of the musical then Mrs Horrocks is the person to ask! We will be having a short meeting on Monday 7th May at 3.15pm. It would be great if you could make it!  If you are unable to make the meeting, but are keen to help...please let me know.  More importantly she is looking for volunteers who can donate some of their time to assist with costumes, the set and other roles.  If this is something you can assist with, then please contact or see Mrs Horrocks on that Monday. Thanks again for your ongoing support. Times Tables Quiz - Today in class I did a short quiz to check their knowledge of all their tables. As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday students in Year 3 are only expected to know their 2's, 3's,...

Week 5 Update - Hump Week!

Good afternoon parents, For those looking for an embarrassing or dramatic story this week, I am sorry to disappoint!  This weekend has been all about a bit of family time and for me, catching up on a the last two Matthew Reilly novels...knocked those out yesterday so hit me up if you have any recommendations!  I also finished the Will Smith autobiography this week if anyone is looking for a really great read! It has been an interesting week trying to process what is happening here in WA as well as what is happening overseas...I can't even imagine what it must be like for families just like us to be gripped by war.  Like many parents, I am struggling  to explain it to my own children who have some grasp of what is happening but also a child like fear as well...I just don't know what to say? With this in mind, you may have seen on Facebook that as a school community, we are offering families the opportunity to attend a prayer vigil on Wednesday afternoon...
