Parents and Friends Movie Night

Sunday the 2nd of July.

The Parents and Friends have organised a social night for parents at 7pm on Sunday the 2nd of July at Fountain Gate Cinema to see ‘The House’. This event is not for children, instead it has been organised as an opportunity for parents to get together and enjoy a film to raise funds for the school. I encourage you to attend and please be aware that you are most welcome to bring your own friends along to enjoy the evening. Please see the attached flyer within this newsletter for all details, tickets need to be ordered by next Wednesday, the 14th June.

Dear Parents, On Friday we will be celebrating our Trinity Feast Day with a Whole School Mass at 9.00am in Readman Hall, parents are most welcome to come and join us. Thanks to Fr. Brendan and Kathryn Pepper for their organisation of the Mass. The celebration will continue after Mass with the children participating in special activities within the classrooms and the school will provide a sausage sizzle lunch and an icy-pole. Please ensure that your order form has been returned so that your child can receive their lunch.

On Saturday night we enjoyed a wonderful Trinity Mass at the Parish, it was great to see so many families there. Thanks to all of the students who undertook a role in the Mass.

Yesterday and today, the Foundations students have enjoyed an excursion to the Casey Safety Village Traffic School and today the Grade Two students participated in a Healthy Habits Incursion. Tomorrow our Year Five students are heading off to the Melbourne Aquarium. Thanks to the teachers of these grades for their efforts in organising the extra-curricular activities for the students.

The construction of our storage shed at the rear of the Joyce Building has commenced, we anticipate that it will be finished by the end of next week.

Mr Michael Gore and Mrs Rima Darwish will be on leave at the beginning of Term 3. Family Learning Conversations for 3G and 3D will be held on Wednesday 28th June 3.30pm-8.00pm and Thursday 27th June 3.30pm-6.15pm. Online booking details have been sent home with the students today.

TRINITY FEAST DAY

THIS FRIDAY – We warmly invite all families to join us in our Trinity Feast Day celebrations. The day will

begin with Mass at 9am, followed by activities in the classroom and a shared sausage sizzle lunch.

At Trinity we come together

Everyone a child of God’s love Faith, hope and love is our motto

Celebrate in God’s love We have faith to guide us on our journey

Hope to give us peace Love to make us all be happy Let’s celebrate God’s family.

As we celebrate Trinity Feast Day, we remember the

significance of our school motto of “Faith”, “Hope” and “Love”.

Faith is being sure of something even though we

cannot see it. We are sure that God loves us and that he sent Jesus to show us how to love each other.

Hope is the trust we have that God’s kingdom will be

lived out on earth. We follow in Jesus’ footsteps to help this be achieved.

Love is companionship. It is the joy in our hearts and the smiles on our faces that keep us going every day.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

(1Cor. 13:12-13)

PENTECOST SUNDAY John 20:19-23

Reflection Jesus promised that he would not leave us orphans, so when he left our world he breathed his own life into us through the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who lives in us, guides and helps us live the gospel

from age to age, and, because he is the Lord and giv-er of life and of wisdom, we know that the church

will always be guided in the spirit of Jesus.

Possible discussion Today we celebrate the coming of the Spirit.

Who do you know who is a Spirit-filled person? What sort of things show that a person is Spirit-

filled? Let us ask the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts so

that we may be Spirit filled.

Kathryn Pepper - REL/ Student Support
