Sunday marked the beginning of the church's liturgical season of Advent. Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus in all we say and do. Advent is a time to reach out to others in the spirit of love and share what we have been given. Advent is a time to remember all that God has done for us and give praise to God’s name.
One of the Symbols of Advent is the wreath. The circle of the Advent Wreath, without a beginning or an end, symbolises God’s unending love for us. The evergreen in the wreath represents growth and the hope of eternal life. Purple, the colour of our prayer cloth and candles, is the Church’s colour for preparation and sacrifice. The lighting of candles each week in Advent marks our growing anticipation of the coming of Christ, Light of the World.

Lord, let me be a light in the world for you today!

As this very unusual school year draws to a close, none of us imagined that this school year would have panned out the way it has. With just under two weeks to go, who would have thought that we would find ourselves reflecting on the unprecedented year that has been. Despite the challenges that have confronted all of us this year, we still have much to be grateful for. Looking at all that we have achieved together makes me very proud.
To our parents, I want to thank you for your kindness, grace, and cooperation.
Thank you to our staff who have been amazing, despite navigating the challenges of COVID-19, they have continued to provide growth in faith and quality learning and teaching for our students. We have been amazed by the flexibility, tenacity and creativity that our students and staff have shown as they have navigated new learning while remaining calm and full of hope. They are resilient and have come through this challenging time, having learned important lessons about themselves as learners and people.
Thank you for your continued patience and support; we look forward to the day where we can welcome our parents back to our classrooms and events.
To our departing families and students, we would like to extend our very best wishes to you all. We hope that you will always look back on your time here with great fondness and happy memories.
To our returning staff, students and families, we look forward to strengthening our relationship with you and embarking on the journey of the 2021 school year together. There are many exciting things set to take place in 2021.

Merry Christmas to all and have a safe, happy and holy holiday season.
