ELC
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Fathers Day celebrations so special last Friday and Monday and to all the dads and granddads who were able to join us for breakfast, open classrooms and the liturgy. We hope you had a wonderful Fathers Day.
This week we celebrated the canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the boy who loved Jesus and became our first millennial saint. The ELC joined the school on Monday for an assembly to learn more about St Carlo’s life. We were invited to wear sports clothes like Carlos.
RU OK? Day - Thursday 11 September
Lobsters and Turtles were invited to wear yellow clothing or accessories to school on Thursday 11 September for R U OK? Day. This is an important reminder to check in with family, friends and people around us and to ask R U OK any day. A conversation could change a life.
