Term 1 Week 9 of 10 - Friday 26 th March 2021 Dear Parents, Carers and Students, This weekend is Palm Sunday and Easter is almost upon us and our observance of Lent has almost come to an end. So how has Lent been for us this year? Just as we set aside time to spiritually prepare for Christmas, it makes sense to set aside time to prepare for the two most important days of the Christian year. Lent is a time that offers us an opportunity to come to terms with the human condition that we may spend the rest of the year running from and it brings our need for God to the forefront of our minds and living. Like Advent, Lent is a time to open the doors of our hearts a little wider and understand our God a little deeper, so that when Good Friday and eventually Easter comes, it is not just another day at church but an opportunity to receive and recognise God’s love and blessing in our living. With this in mind, we are placing the dates and times of the various Masses and Easter Liturgies that represent the journey of Easter so that together with your family and your community, you will be able to set time aside, plan for and participate in the most important days in the Christian calendar.

Term 1 Week 9 of 10 - Friday 26th March 2021
Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
This weekend is Palm Sunday and Easter is almost
upon us and our observance of Lent has almost
come to an end. So how has Lent been for us this
year?
Just as we set aside time to spiritually prepare for
Christmas, it makes sense to set aside time to
prepare for the two most important days of the
Christian year. Lent is a time that offers us an
opportunity to come to terms with the human
condition that we may spend the rest of the year
running from and it brings our need for God to the
forefront of our minds and living.
Like Advent, Lent is a time to open the doors of our
hearts a little wider and understand our God a little
deeper, so that when Good Friday and eventually
Easter comes, it is not just another day at church but
an opportunity to receive and recognise God’s love
and blessing in our living.
With this in mind, we are placing the dates and
times of the various Masses and Easter Liturgies that
represent the journey of Easter so that together with
your family and your community, you will be able to
set time aside, plan for and participate in the most
important days in the Christian calendar.
With my warmest regards,
Des Noack

Thank you to all the families that responded to the
Operoo form regarding our school canteen.
We received 182 responses which is a fantastic
result and has provided with a huge insight as to
what our community is looking for in providing a
canteen service at the school.
The following provides you with a snap shot of the
responses provided:

Which items would you like to see more of? (This is only a small selection of what was suggested but gives an insight into the range of expectations regarding a canteen menu. That will be the job of the Canteen Committee.)
Salads. Sushi, rice paper rolls, salad wraps, fruit cups, corn on the cob, wedges
Hot food like pasta, pies, soups Schnitzel Just sticking with all different types of healthier options.
I like everything
More homemade meals
Fun, tasty healthy food that are like treats e.g. - watermelon, sushi, rice paper rolls, milkshakes with fruit e.g. banana, whole meal fruit muffins etc. so they can enjoy healthy food and see it as fun and it becomes a habit- regular choice in their diet.
I would like to see a lot more variety across a whole range of foo, I did like the Fridays were allocated to more hot food it gave the children something to look forward to as a reward or treat to finish of the school week
Snack foods so whole lunch was still brought from home but a treat as an option? Small dips/biscuits, cheeses, veggie sticks. Popcorn varieties. Bread varieties, focaccia, croissant. Icy pole varieties. Small snack size foods instead of meal size
Zooper doopers are a must have!
Fruits and fresh balanced meals
Home cooked meals I would like to see a variety of cold foods such as salads, sushi
Hotdogs available every day of the week not just on a Friday!
Homemade food (pizza and pasta), sushi, smoothies
Soups Sushi, food from different cultures as a lunch special
Items with limited/compostable packaging. Freshly prepared options, such as daily specials like fried rice, pasta dishes or sushi Meals from around the world like perhaps a feature meal once a month to entice kids to try new

Expensive unhealthy products
Fatty processed foods

You can see that the Canteen Focus Group has
much to discuss. A further Operoo form will go out
to the parents who indicated that they would like to
be part of the focus group so that we can get the
canteen, in whatever form it takes, up and running
as soon as possible.
Grade 6 Camp These pictures certainly tell a story as to how much
