REC Report
EASTER SHOE BOX ACTIVITY
In preparation for Holy Week and Easter the children participated in many activities that retold the significant events that Jesus faced during this week while he was on earth.
Each activity had a special symbol, that was added on the children’s Easter Box. The children fully engaged in this activity and were able to give a detailed account of their learning.
EASTER THANK YOU
Thank you to all those children and their families that made themselves available to assist the Parish over the Easter celebrations by Altar Serving, reading and helping in any way. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by Father George and Father Namora and all members of the Parish.
PROJECT COMPASSION BOXES
Thank you to the many families, who have returned their Project Compassion Boxes. Your financial support is greatly appreciated and will help the lives of many to have a better and brighter future. Every contribution no matter how small will make a difference to someone’s life.
Please send your boxes back to school this week so that the money can be sent to Caritas Australia.
MOTHER’S DAY MASS AND MORNING TEAOn Friday 6th May we will celebrate a whole School Mother’s Day Mass in St Patrick’s Church at 12 noon. We invite all our mother’s, Grandmother’s, Aunts and all those special mother figures to join with us to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Prior to Mass we are holding a Mother’s Day Morning Tea at school at 10:45 am. We would love to see you there. Please let Jacki know if you are attending.
MASS TIME CHANGE
Just a note to advise, that Mass will change to 5 PM from Saturday 7th May. Given it is already dark at 6pm, Fr thought we should change now rather than wait until June.

We ask you to pray for our Year Three students Indi Cole, Oliver Crowe, Eliza Graham, Lachlan Hargreaves, Molly Lott, Chase Robinson and Chase Clout, Beau Jones, Nora Lindley, Jimmy Lott and Connor Manton from Gundagai Primary School.
