Dear Parents and Carers,

Once again we begin a new term with a certain level of uncertainty and an acknowledgement of the unknown ahead of us. I recently read a reflection by the nuns from the Jamberoo Abbey that resonated with me as I myself reflected on what this term may bring. It was centered around the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit and by allowing the Holy Spirit to be in our minds, thoughts, concerns and fears we are able to approach whatever comes our way with a sense of clam and peace.

I sincerely hope that you were able to spend some valuable time with your family and friends and even possibly have a small getaway. I know speaking to the children this week they have loved sharing their holiday stories with me. There certainly have been some exciting adventures had.

We all look forward to when we can have you as parents join us on the school site to celebrate together and pray together. Coming together is such an important part of our school life and journey. As this is not possible for the foreseeable future please continue to engage and enjoy the sharing of your child’s learning journey through SeeSaw, the newsletter and via our school face book page.

Below is the reflection from Jamberoo Abbey, I hope it speaks to you as much as it did to me.

Softly whispering Spirit, blow gently into our lives.

Blow softly into our minds and bring peace

Blow softly into our thoughts and bring understanding

Blow softly into our concerns and bring calm

Blow softly into our fears and bring courage

Blow softly into our hearts and bring love

Life-giving Spirit breathe your life into our lives each day.

Elizabeth Mills. 

God Bless
