FROM MARK
Hi Everyone,
Doing things differently is a recurring theme at our school, and three examples - Ash Wednesday, Merit Awards and Assembly are new ones for this week.
Thank you for your support of the mask wearing regulations this week. We really appreciate it.
Have a great long weekend! See you all on Wednesday following our staff professional development day on Tuesday.
Best wishes
Mark

SCHOOL CALENDAR
ASH WEDNESDAY
Our Student Leaders ran a paraliturgy (prayer service) over the p.a. system on Wednesday. Children joined in while in class. Again, a change to avoid big groups, and it is fair to say that it was a beautifully reverent moment for us all. Our thanks go to our Student Leaders, and to Assistant Principal Tegan Back who prepared the paraliturgy.
YEAR FIVE ‘ASSEMBLY’
This is a hoot - enjoy! Congratulations to Lachie, Joe and the Year Five Gang!
MERIT AWARDS
MAKING JESUS REAL
PASTORAL CARE AND STUDENT WELLBEING NEWS
2D started the Aussie Optimism Feelings and Friends program today. Parents will receive an update on seesaw after each lesson so that you can continue to support this learning at home. We had a great time!
Our Year 6 Christian Service group are supporting our local Vinnies. Like all of us, it is hard with supermarket limits to stock up on supplies, so they are having difficulty meeting the needs of those in our community. If you can spare any perishable items, especially pasta, rice, cereal, cans and tins we would be most grateful. These can be sent to school with your child and placed in the boxes in the classrooms or the library. We will deliver them to our Parish in week 6. Thank you for your support!

LIBRARY NEWS
Wellness Week continued in the library and we are so good at belly breathing. With the beginning of Lent, the Easter books are out and we are all reminded that we don’t have to give anything up, rather we can all try harder to be kind and Make Jesus Real. Lunchtimes continue to be so much fun as the year groups enjoy their own special time to relax, play games and read. Thank you to all students for following the hygiene rules of the library so that everyone is safe.

OUR P & F NEWS
The changes continue to be plentiful and now more than ever we need to support each other and our surrounding community and businesses. It was an absolute pleasure to receive an email from Emma and Matt Ryan from Woodlands Village Bakers Delight this week offering for us to join in their Bakers Delight Easter Fundraiser drive again! This is definitely one way local communities can support each other so watch this space for our 2022 HOT Cross Bun flyer and order form.
Bakers Delight Woodlands Village give so much to our school already with you just saying 'Holy Rosary School' when you make a purchase - so please continue to support them & don't forget to quote our school name. This affiliation alone has seen them donate $6k to the P&F in the past 2 years, which is amazing & something we are extremely grateful for so thank you all.
As a school community we have members with diverse sets of skills and from varying businesses. We'd love to find a way to renew this focus and get an online School Community Business Directory/database up and running. If you have some ideas of how this could be achieved please make contact via admin or holyrosaryhelpers@gmail.com.au (This by no means requires you to run it). All ideas will be considered and hopefully we can find a system that can be easily maintained, updated & accessed for years to come! We want to know your businesses exist and share that with our community in an easily accessible online platform outside the newsletter.
