Dear Families,
Welcome back to another week here at Lumen Christi.
Last week, I announced the sad news that Mrs Colaciello will be leaving us at the end of next week. Mrs Colaciello joined the staff here four years ago (I believe) and has made such a great impact on our school in her various roles. Her passion for what she does will be missed here and a wonderful asset to her new school.
We very gladly have appointed Mrs Fahey to the Italian role, Mrs Ruiter to the Visual Arts role and Mrs Savige to the role of Religious Education Leader.
Last week we had a number of children compete in the District Cross Country with a number of those children going through to the next round. Mr Watson said that our children were very well behaved, showing great respect, responsibility and resilience on the day. I was exceptionally proud, but not at all surprised to hear that our children represented our school so well.
This week we celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday. We welcome our mothers or special people in our children’s lives to a special breakfast on Thursday morning at 8:10 in the eco-centre. Afterwards, we ask that you join us for our liturgy in the church.
The P&F will also be running the Mother’s Day Stall and we thank them kindly for their time and efforts in putting that together.
I have found a short prayer for mothers on Mother’s Day. We are thinking of all of those who are not with their mothers this year also.
May you be loving-kindness to those who call you ‘mother’.
May you delight in nurturing and relish the gift of children.
May your heart be open to friends and strangers in need of mothering and mentoring.
May you grow in wisdom as you experience the struggles and rewards of life.
May you go to sleep each evening aware of the protection and warmth of God’s embrace.
Have a wonderful week ahead,
Sally
