Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

As you will be aware from our letter earlier in the week there has been some easing of restrictions and we are working through how these can be conducted safely and within the guidelines that are placed upon us by the Government, Department of Education and DOSCEL.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this and we will provide you with updates as they come to hand.

Parent Access Module (PAM)

Thank you to all of the families who have verified their emails to set up the PAM accounts.  We are currently sitting at 80% of set up accounts.  Would be great if we could get the final 20% completed before the end of term.

PAM is now used for all permission slips, parent teacher interviews and whole school announcements.  Please note Grade 3-6 athletics permission slip is now on PAM awaiting approval and will need to be completed by Sunday 13th March.  If you are having difficulty setting it up or finding your access email please email mcharlton@stgtraralgon.catholic.edu.au and I will help you with it. 

RECONCILIATION: 

Sacrament of First Reconciliation will be celebrated at St Michael’s Church on the 29th, 30th and 31st of March 2022, for Grade 3 students and above. An information session was held on Wednesday March 9th for parents of children interested in taking part in the sacrament of first reconciliation in 2022. If you were unable to attend please contact Jen on 5174 2060 or via email at sacraments@smpt.org.au

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine, and the following prayer allows some time for reflection and the overwhelming desire for peace and hope in these uncertain times.

PRAYER FOR UKRAINE

God of peace and justice,   

We pray for the people of Ukraine today.

We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.                

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow.

That your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace,

for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.

Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at-risk and in fear,

that you would hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Amen.

Kind Regards

Michelle
