Dear Families,

With such a short week it seems like only yesterday that I was writing the last newsletter.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

Our Socktober day was a great way to give our students an understanding of people who live in a world with much fewer resources than we have. The children made soccer balls out of clean old socks and other recycled materials and then played games just as the children in Ethiopia. We are supporting a village to create a sustainable goat raising farm. This focus directly links to the RE curriculum as part of our Catholic Life and Social Teaching.  

FLOODING

I ask that you keep all those who are currently being affected by the flooding waters in your prayers. Our own local community has had incidents where water has become a challenge in driveways, roads and some houses. It did also hamper the work on the running track over the weekend, however we have managed to get enough work done to have the excavated section ready for the working bee this evening.

WORKING BEE

I am grateful to the families who have offered to help tonight, we have a small but robust band of offerings and are keen to make the running track our focus.

HOT NOODLES FOR LUNCH

We have had occasional requests from families to give hot water for noodles. These requests have become more frequent. More children in the junior area are bringing the noodle cups in asking for the hot water at lunch. We are unable to give boiling water to the children and ask that, if you would like your child to have noodles for lunch, that they bring it in a small thermos flask at an appropriate temperature.

God Bless, you all and have a lovely weekend,

Anne-Marie Robb
