Dear Parents and Carers,

It is hard to believe we are halfway through the term and have been working at home for so long. Once again, I thank you for the support you continue to show to your child, the staff, and the school. I appreciate how frustrating and exhausting the current situation is for everyone!

This week we received a beautiful email from our Director of Schools, Mr Peter Hill, titled a message of Hope. In his message, Peter asked the following question. “At this time, more than ever, we need to co-create hopefulness with others. Hope is really about looking ahead – a long way ahead. Our work in Catholic education is about the daily challenge of keeping hope alive. In an age when faith can be fragile, when COVID-19 has engulfed our lives, how do we patiently keep hope alive?”

Pope Francis has a simple, life-changing message for us: God's love can grace each of us with a lasting and sustaining hope, no matter how dark or confusing our situation.

"Life is often a desert, it is difficult to walk, but if we trust in God, it can become beautiful and wide as a highway. Never lose hope; continue to believe, always, in spite of everything. Hope opens new horizons, making us capable of dreaming what is not even imaginable." Pope Francis

May we continue to be hope-filled people in these challenging and uncertain times.
I thank everyone for working together to keep our community safe.

Mrs Vicky Davidson
