What a fantastic day we had last Friday at our Faction Athletics Carnival. The sportsmanship, friendly competition and determination demonstrated by the students was something I was very proud of. I would like to offer a HUGE thank you to all the parents, grandparents and family members who came along and helped with the judging, marshalling, scoring, selling of cakes, baking of cakes and just cheering on the students. I think that without the help and support of our parents, days like this couldn’t happen.

sterday was the first of our Athletics Carnival days, with selected students from Years 1 to 6 competing in Ball Throw, Long Jump and Triple Jump. It was great to see these children showing determination, good sportsmanship and great skill as they navigated their way through these events.

With so many events happening in our world today that impact us in different ways, it is important as parents that we have the skills to be able to support our children and their responses. While we would love to protect our children from the negative things that are happening around them, in reality it is impossible, as news coverage is so widespread.

For the last three days, Nicolle Achmad and myself were fortunate to spend some time with Bishop Gerard Holohan in reflecting on how within our school we are expressing our Catholic Identity. Things such as prayer, understanding the Liturgy, having symbols and icons easily seen within the school and developing strong relationships were discussed.

Yesterday we began our Lenten journey for 2019 with the celebration of Ash Wednesday. Led by our Year 5 class, we were reminded of the importance of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We had our foreheads marked with ashes in the shape of a cross symbolising that the person belongs to Jesus Christ, who died on a cross. Father Mat reminded us to talk to God more regularly through Prayer, sharing our thoughts, our challenges, our successes and failures.

As we continue our fourth week of the term, the freshness and excitement of ‘day one’ has begun to wear off and students are becoming familiar with the school routines. For parents, the daily routine of getting your children out of bed, dressed, fed and ready for school, lunches organised, homework checked and notes read, can become a very hectic schedule.
