Principal Message
Dear Parents and Carers
Congratulations to all our families on the wonderful collaboration in transitioning all the students back to face to face learning last week. All students have settled back into class routines and it was terrific to see students happy and engaged in their classrooms. The staff have worked tirelessly to make this as smooth a process as possible and continue to ensure that the students are feeling safe and happy. Thank you to every parent for adapting to the changes regarding access to the school. Our priority is to keep the school community as healthy as possible.
We are barely grasping the nature of COVID-19 across the globe. We have witnessed a spirit of compassion, generosity, ingenuity and creativity. That is exactly what happened two thousand years ago when a small group of Jesus’ disciples gathered despondently in a room, wondering about their future. It was the Holy Spirit that united them in purpose. It was the Holy Spirit that gave them ‘the gift of tongues’ to be able to reach out to others in love and with peace. Unfortunate events often unite people and can bring out the best in them.
Pentecost enables us to recognise what is good, what is right, what is ethical, what is true and of lasting worth that guides us on our lives’ journey to God. It is the Holy Spirit that enables us to recognise and celebrate our connectedness to God and to one another. We are called to not just celebrate Pentecost; we must live it!
May the presence of the Spirit help us to be people of love and service, bringing the hope-filled message of Jesus into our world.
