Put your whole confidence in God - Catherine McAuley
Dear parents, children and parishoners,
What a lot to celebrate this week - our children are continuing to work hard, and 'knuckle down' into their learning, their support for one another and even for the wider community. They have received some terrific thank you letters from the parish, from CARITAS and for some individuals they have received them from me.
This week will be celebrating a taste of home with St Patrick's Day - don't forget to wear your green, and of course eat your greens on Thursday 17th March. Parents if you are doing Lent the hard way I do believe (in my heart) that St Patrick's day is a feast and you should set aside your ashes for that day:)
God bless, Annie

Introducing our first ever Justice Chat! Late last week these students; Mia, Tomas, Milo, Cecelia, Olivia and Alice were online for our first Justice Chat. They worked with students from other schools to focus on social justice and making a difference for those who need it most. | Thank you from CARITAS "It was fantastic meeting the students from your school and we valued their input and contribution throughout the chat. | One of the aims of this session ... To inspire and support students to become active leaders of change in their schools and to use the principles of Catholic Social Teaching in the process. We hope that our chat did this and that your students are ready to take up the challenge to be leaders and make a difference." |

Marching March
"Walking encourages our brain to release endorphins, a neurotransmitter that boosts our mental health."
I know it isn't possible for everyone due to distance and family pressures, but it is so good for mental health that I am considering walking from Maitland daily :)
