Exciting news we are in the process of signing a contract with YMCA to run OSHC and Vacation Care at Rosary school commencing at the beginning of the school year 2021.
I would like to thank Carina Sando, Nadine Evans and Lisa McCormick for supporting me with this negotiation.
The Gymnastic finals have been held over the past two weeks and we were very pleased to see so many parents were able to attend one of the two performances.
The children really enjoyed the opportunity to perform a second time. Both performances were very impressive in demonstrating the students’ excellent gymnastics skills, teamwork and confidence in performance.
Year 6's have been working hard this term as a community for the world that God desires.

We live in an era where it is common practice for many people to photograph / video their children when special moments, events and celebrations occur, to share with our friends and families on social media.
While this is an exciting way to share our lives with others, we need to understand that not all parents wish to have their child’s image displayed and have the right to make that decision.
Communication Platforms – where can I find the information I am looking for?
We remind all parents that SchoolStream is really important to have on your phone.
SCHOOL STREAM application is our major link to families delivering school alerts, information as well as our new electronic version of the school newsletter instantly and directly to your smartphone and/or tablet. In your devices “App Store” search for “School Stream” and follow the very simple instructions.
Equally important is our Website where you can find a range of information including the Events Calendar. We were grateful to hear feedback around the challenges of looking at this online, so we are currently working with our Web Developer to change the default view to weekly.

Each year, the Rosary Parents and Friends Committee run a stall where children can buy a small gift for their Father/Grandfather/special person in their life. Due to COVID-19, we are doing things a little differently.
We are pleased to inform our school community that thanks to a decision by our new Archbishop Patrick O’Regan, our Confirmation and First Communion Program for 2020 will recommence.
Planning is currently in progress for 30 candidates to celebrate these sacraments early Term 4.
We ask that you keep these students in your prayers as they continue their faith journey and initiation into the life of Jesus Christ.
Prayer of the week, celebrating ‘Social Justice Sunday’:
Jesus, you invite us all into the fullness of life.
May we support one another to flourish in body, mind and spirit.
Strengthen our commitment to ensure that nobody falls through gaps in our systems of care.
People called you mad.
Help us to recognise you in those who suffer mental ill-health today.
Show us how to eliminate stigmatization of mental ill-health from our parishes, schools, communities and organisations.
You drew near to those who were suffering in body or mind.
May we too feel your nearness when we struggle with mental health challenges.
May we be one as members of Your Body
You invite us to share in your ministry of love and true compassion
May we be empowered by your Spirit to reach out to all people in need.
May we build communities of welcome and inclusion. Amen.
