From the Principal

Two significant events are being celebrated soon. We can take valuable lessons from both as they remind us to live out our school values of compassion, service, courage and forgiveness.

PENTECOST

Pentecost Sunday is on 28 May and holds great significance for us today. It reminds us of the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Just as the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, we too experience His guidance and strength. Pentecost encourages us to be open to God's Spirit, who helps us make good choices, brings us comfort in difficult times, and empowers us to show compassion and serve others.

Pentecost teaches us about unity and diversity. The miracle of speaking in different languages reminds us that God's love is for everyone, regardless of their background or culture. It calls us to embrace diversity and build bridges of understanding and friendship with people from all walks of life.

Pentecost encourages us to be bold in sharing our faith and spreading kindness and compassion. It reminds us that we have a purpose to bring light and love to others. May we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and let Pentecost inspire us to make a positive difference in the world around us.

NATIONAL SORRY DAY

National Sorry Day is an important event in Australia that reminds us of the significance of reconciliation and acknowledging the past. It is observed on the 26th of May each year. On this day, we reflect on the mistreatment and injustices faced by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the forced removal of children from their families, known as the Stolen Generations. National Sorry Day encourages us to show empathy, understanding, and respect towards Indigenous Australians. It is an opportunity for us to learn about their rich cultures and histories, and to work towards a more inclusive and united future.
