Dear Parents,

We have had a wonderful week of sporting here at St Gabriel’s with our Senior and Junior Athletics carnivals. Thank you to all the parents who came along to support the children, we adapted to some covid-safe practices which enabled us to all gather
together safely both offsite and here at school. It was lovely to be back together again as a school community after such a long time. I think everyone will agree that Mr Hogan, the teachers and our ESO staff did an amazing job organising and running both days and we are also very appreciative of any parents who offered to help on the day to help things run smoothly. We were exceptionally proud of our students in the way that they demonstrated Strength and Gentleness with each other on the day through cheering, encouragement and good sportsmanship.

I’d like to say a big congratulations to all of our year three and four students who have celebrated their Reconciliation this week. We keep these children in our prayers as they grow in their faith journey, that they come to know God’s healing love through this Sacrament. Thank you to our families who have done a wonderful job preparing their children for the day.

Finally, we are coming to the end of Term 1 already and as always, the first term has flown by very quickly. I’d like to take this time to remind families that our final day this term will be Holy Thursday (1 st April) and school will finish at 2pm on this day.

Best Wishes

Roslyn Joyner
