News from the Principal

Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

On behalf of the staff I would like to thank you for your ongoing support this term as we work together in partnership to do the best we can with your children. We hope you get to spend some time together as a family over the two week break to refresh and rejuvenate and look forward to welcoming you back on the 26th of April.

Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.

(Pope Francis)

During this week all grades are participating in a walking Stations of the Cross in the school grounds as we reflect on the events of Holy Week. Thank you to our Religious Education Leader Sue Rickwood for preparing this for us.

Jesus, you have been told you  must die to take away all our wrongs. Such is your Father’s will. Give us courage in our struggles.
Station_2.png

Jesus, you take your heavy cross. It gives you pain. Help all who suffer.

station_3.png

The cross is too heavy and you fall. We fall often, Jesus. Help us to think of your pain.

station_4.png

Jesus, you and Mary suffered so much when you met each other on the road! We think of the sadness and pain that you suffered for us.

Jesus, Simon takes your cross, helps you and so becomes one with you.

station_6.png

Veronica has the courage to be kind to you, Jesus

station_7.png

Your sufferings get worse and you fall again, Jesus.

station_8.png

Jesus you hid your own suffering to comfort the women.

station_9.png

Weakness makes you fall to the ground, Jesus. 

The pain is great.

station_10.png

Every part of your body suffers, Jesus, as they pull off your clothing.

station_11.png

How great is your love for every human being, Jesus! Who could ever describe or explain the agony of crucifixion? Only love could do so.

station_12.png

Love demands everything, Jesus. It touches the very centre of our being.
Thinking of us you gave up what we cherish most. 
You breathed out your life in love, that we might live.

station_13.png

Mary’s body and your body are one, Jesus. Your life lives on in her body.

station_14.png

You overcame the powers of evil, Jesus. Your death brought us life. You want to live on in us.
