Principal Message

Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to Term 2 and the beginning of a new term. I trust the Easter break enabled you to spend time with family and friends. As we move into Term 2 St Francis of Assisi will continue to respond to the emerging challenges that has been presented by the current health situation. The staff of the Catholic Education Office Diocese of Wollongong continues to support the work of all Catholic schools, providing information, resources and professional advice to school leaders as well as information to families via the CEDoW COVID-19 Information Centre.

Please be assured as we work together to respond to COVID-19 the health and safety of our school community is the priority.

As you know, planning for the gradual return of students to the classroom during Term 2 has been communicated to all parents and carers. I know that you still have many questions at this time so we will keep you updated as careful planning continues. Be assured our teachers are highly skilled, generous with their time and committed to providing great learning for their students while doing everything possible to keep them safe and happy. Parents and carers will continue to be informed at a school and system level as to when the students should return to face-to-face learning in a fulltime capacity.

I am very proud of how our entire community has supported each other during this time of uncertainty. Throughout these difficult times, the staff of St Francis of Assisi have demonstrated they are collaborative, adaptable and able to respond to emerging challenges with creativity and always with the best interest of the students.

Pope Francis asked Catholics to make a special effort in May to pray the rosary, knowing that by doing so they will be united with believers around the world asking for Mary’s intercession in stopping the coronavirus pandemic.
The month of May is devoted to Mary, and many Catholics are already in the habit of praying the rosary at home during the month. Pope Francis noted. “The restrictions of the pandemic have made us come to appreciate all the more this ‘family’ aspect, also from a spiritual point of view.”
The prayer below is one of two prayers Pope Francis wrote to Mary that can be recited at the end of the rosary.
