It was Tilde's birthday on Tuesday last week and as Mrs Hall was away and Mr Bach was sick we didn't get a proper chance to wish her Happy Birthday until Friday. Well done Tilde. You are a great role model in the class. Thanks also for the healthy oranges mum.

Mrs Hall would like to thank all parents, caregivers and children who offered their condolences and prayers last week at the passing away of her mother. God bless you all.

With Mr Bach also away last week sick for 2 days we hope to restart our normal programme of learning this week.

We were lucky with weather on Friday that enabled the children to walk to the theatre to see ‘Into the Woods”. I hope that everyone who went, enjoyed the show. It was great to see some of our former students performing in the show.

Our Pentecost Mass is on Friday 26th May at 9.00 am at St Mary’s Church. All parents, caregivers and extended families are welcome to come along and enjoy the celebration.
