`ST PATRICK’S PRIMARY SCHOOL Dear Parents, As we continue our Lenten journey, this is prayer, which we can reflect on: A LENTEN PRAYER Jesus, dear Saviour, During these days of Lent, I want to fast, to repent and to pray. Above all else I want to stay in the circle of Your love. Walk with me and guide me in Your footsteps. During this season of Lent help me to follow You and imitate Your love. May this cross remind me today and throughout Lent of your great love for me. Amen PARENT TEACHER MEETINGS Thank you to all the families who have attended our parent teacher information exchange sessions this week. It was a great opportunity to meet and discuss each child’s progress and their goals for the year. We hope all families found the meetings valuable. EASTER RAFFLE The P&F are organising our annual Easter raffle. They would like each child to bring an Easter egg for their class hamper. HOT CROSS BUNS Orders can now be placed via Flexischools for Hot Cross Bun morning tea on Friday 27 th March.

Education In Faith …from Joanne Soulsby & Chris Giosis/Religious Education Leaders
LENT Ash Wednesday begins the forty-day season of Lent that leads to Easter.
On Ash Wednesday, we came together at Mass and were marked with a cross of ashes
on our forehead. Like God’s people in the time of the prophets, we wear ashes to
show that we want to turn away from whatever keeps us from God, and to have a
change of heart, so that we can live in a right relationship with God and each other.
Have a look at some of your children’s learning about Lent and Ash Wednesday.
