Hi there Jaguars!
We hope everyone has had a great week. Father Stephen was with us this week for liturgy. He shared with us an important reminder about being thankful for our families, teachers, and friends, as well as to God who created each of us individually, with special gifts and talents to bless those around us. This weekend we hope everyone is able to take a few moments to reflect on all they are thankful for this Thanksgiving season.
This morning we had our announcements live at a whole-school assembly. During the announcements, we wished a number of students "happy birthday", one of whom missed their special announcement. A special 'birthday shout out' goes to Scarlett this weekend. We hope all those with birthdays this weekend enjoy their special day!
