Compassionate Contemplation

James Finley encourages each of us to continue on the contemplative path:

Through our renewed fidelity to our contemplative practices, we learn to discern and take steps to correct any tendencies to drag around dust-gathering trophies of things past…. Sitting silent and still in meditation, walking with attentive gratitude at sunset, reaching out to cup the beloved’s face in our hands, we find ourselves once again at the never-ending origins of the one unending present moment in which our lives unfold.

Hi Everyone,

This thinking around the importance of time to contemplate in life - often something dismissed because we find ourselves too busy to engage - can’t be overstated. Never was something so simple and so difficult at the same time.

Numeracy incursions on Monday and Tuesday - Professor Maths, and World of Maths, were well received and really motivating. Thank you to our Numeracy Co-ordinator Peter Scutti for arranging these learning opportunities for our children.

Today’s Carnival was something amazing. Loads of participants, loads of participation, loads of support. It means a lot when a lot of parents, guardians and extended family come along to be a part of days like this. Thank you for your attendance and your support. To Rob, our teacher of P.E. who is so organised and whose expertise in preparing and running carnivals is out there, thank you very, very much.

Night of the Notables next week Monday and Tuesday involving our children in Year Five. the previews have been just remarkable. This is a fine tradition at Holy Rosary, one readily embraced by our children.

Friday’s Performing Arts Assembly run by Mrs Kirwan promises to be a lot of fun. It showcases some of the great things a number of our children have been involved in. Hopefully you can come along!

Have a great weekend,

Mark

Pyjama Day and Gold Coin Donation
Last day of Term 3

Year 4 – 6 Enrichment

On Monday, 4th of September, the Enrichment team and some selected students competed in the Write a Book in a Day competition. This is a nationally run competition, which raises funds for the Kid’s Cancer Project. With the help of Ms Berry and Mr. Kinder, they split into 2 groups, each writing a fantastic book, that needed to follow a list of parameters.

Our books ‘The Flood of Change’ and ‘The Magical Headphones’ are here for you to enjoy!

So far, our school’s fundraising page has raised over $4000! If you would like to donate, our fundraising page is open until 30th September.

Free dress day is pyjama day!

In response to many requests from children, we are changing next Friday's free dress day, to Pyjama Day! Yahoo!

Students are able to wear their comfiest pyjamas to school for the day. Those who would rather not wear their pyjamas to school are able to wear free dress. We ask you to consider your child's choice of footwear, to ensure it is appropriate for playing at lunch and recess. We will be collecting a gold coin donation on the day.

“Today was a difficult day. Tomorrow will be better.” – Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes

In keeping with R U OK? Day, the area between the sports shed and sway fun has been set up as a “you can sit with me” area for students to wait for friends or to be invited to play by others. Year 1 and 2 can access the outdoor chess board nearby. This is a high traffic area for staff and students, and all are encouraged to check in with anyone sitting by themselves.

Thanks to everyone for your support of the Vinnies Food Drive. The year 6 Christian Service Group filled the pantry on Friday. The Pastoral Care Group is busy preparing for the Talent Show and Environment Council have planted our new sunflower seeds and tidied up the Veritas Garden. Thanks for all your hard work year 6’s!!

Hot Tip for State Government Employees

Did you know most State Government departments offer their employees two, paid days of Community Involvement Leave each year?

These days could be utilised well to help in the school canteen without having to use one of your precious annual leave days! Working in the canteen is also a great way to meet other awesome parents and see the kids smiles at lunch time.

To join the canteen fun (it is not hard or scary) please email admin@hrs.wa.edu.au or text Leanna on 0414 953 958.

Signing up for the entertainment book not only unlocks savings on your favourite restaurants, fast food faves, holidays, outings and much much more, but 20% of the proceeds of sale also come directly back to the P&F to support Holy Rosary School.

Please use link above to purchase direct through the Holy Rosary fundraiser site, and feel free to share with your friends and extended community!
