REMEMBRANCE DAY 2019

On Monday, 2 Gold led the school prayer with a focus on Remembrance Day. The school was gifted with beautiful red poppies to help us all reflect on those who have and are serving our country through the armed forces. We pray with gratitude and love for their contribution to our country. Thank you Mrs Saunders for your work with these students. It was a lovely prayer.

Thank you also to Blake Moy, Kiara Hawkins and Ms Hatherly who attended the Port Macquarie Remembrance Service on Monday representing our St Joseph’s Primary school community. We were very proud of you. 

YEAR 6 VISIT TO THE CATHOLIC CARE OF THE AGED

Last week Year 6 had a valuable opportunity to meet some of the residents from Mount Carmel and Maryknoll House. We shared colouring, books and card games. There were genuine conversations where students asked about the lives of the residents and listened to stories of what school was like many years ago. It was a lovely afternoon and meaningful to experience service in our community.

OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

To our local community and further a field - our prayers are with you.

As our week draws to an end, we have all been so deeply in awe of the wonderful firefighters who have worked so tirelessly in horrendous conditions to keep us safe. 

Our thoughts and prayers extend to all families in our region who have lost their homes and livelihoods and to those impacted by the fires in other ways. 

God bless you all.
