That's a Wrap
Sacrament of Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of Christian initiation.
Confirmation completes Baptism, by which in the laying on of hands and the anointing with Chrism Oil, which first happened at Baptism, we are confirmed with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
We are reminded of our participation in the ministry and mission of Jesus, and strengthened to follow Jesus more closely.
Year 3 supported their peers in the learning of Pentecost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the fruits of the Holy Spirit during Monday’s Reflection Morning.
Attendance Matters
Our Father’s Day Breakfast, Prayer Assembly and Colour Run is fast approaching. The focus of the organising committee is participation and fun, to celebrate our dads and lads. It would be wonderful if everyone could join us and be a part of this great community event.
Save the date, 'Friday 1st September' and keep an eye out over the coming weeks on your Compass platform for more information and ordering details.
We always appreciate volunteers to help make our events a success. If you have any time available in the next few weeks to help bag colour or are available on the day please let us know by filling in the online form via this link or by scanning the QR code in the flyer - https://forms.gle/e9uFhkAmcVPaMNgu7
We recognise that parents and carers enjoy photographing and recording the progress of their child at school and on school activities. We recognise that many of you like to share these personal memories online and on social media. We ask for your cooperation and care concerning the use and distribution of photographs of other children at our school. Some families have very real legal and safety issues which could put a child at risk if an image is made public online. More generally, it is respectful of the privacy of other members of the school community to ask permission before posting an image online. Even if your social media settings are private, it is easy for images to become public, particularly if they are tagged or shared by others. Please see the school website under “Policies and Forms” for the Photography Guidelines for parents and carers, mandatory policies and further resources.
When we run activities and hold events here at school that families are invited to, we often take photos to share with our community through the school newsletter and our social media platforms. Please note that for adults attending public events there is assumed permission for their image to be able to be published on our platforms.
