Missions
Each year our school collects mission money that we send to Catholic Mission to help those who are less fortunate than we are. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we have had a slight shift with the focus being on the well-being of staff, students, and our school community. As we move forward, we need to think about those who still need our help.
In our upcoming newsletters, we will announce the classes who have collected the most money each week. These classes will receive the mission award to display on their sacred space for the week. Please encourage your children to help by donating some of their pocket money, or giving money they might have had to buy treats at the canteen.

The winners of the mission awards last week:
K-2: Year 1 Blue
Years 3-6: Year 4 Gold.  
Thank you again for your generosity.

Reconciliation
On Tuesday 22 September fifteen students from our school and a number of other students from the parish will make their Reconciliation. We are very fortunate that this can still take place and we hope these students and their parents will have a prayerful experience. Preparation this year was done by the parents at home with guidance by the Year 3 teachers at school. The Sacrament will be at 7pm in St Francis of Assisi Church at Warrawong. Numbers are strictly limited as we adhere to COVID-19 regulations.

St Francis of Assisi Feast Day
This year we will celebrate our school feast day with an in-school celebration on Friday 25 September. The morning will be celebrated by each class within their classroom. Between recess and lunch each stage will have a rotation of 3 activities, and in the afternoon we will have a liturgy zoomed to each class followed by 2 Franciscan Spirit Awards for each class.

Parish Sacraments
At this stage, please see the new dates for the 2020 Sacraments. Please be advised that these dates will also be dependent on COVID-19 restrictions and may be cancelled at any time.
