From the Deputy Principal
Hello SPC families! What a great start to Term 2. It has been great to hear about the different adventures that everyone had during the break.
I have noticed that a lot of students are bringing various sports balls to school, especially footballs. We have plenty of balls at school and there is no need to bring balls from home. We do not want any personal equipment to be lost or damaged at school. Any balls that do come to school will not be allowed to be used during play times and will need to stay inside the classroom.
Feast Day
Yesterday we belatedly celebrated St Peter Chanel Feast Day. It was great to share a meal with all the staff and students and to recognise St Peter Chanel for his work to spread the gospel message to the people of the Pacific Islands. Classes also enjoyed different activities around the school with their buddy class. Thanks to everyone who helped with the set up of this great day.
St Peter Chanel Prayer
St Peter Chanel, you left your homeland to proclaim Jesus,
Saviour of the world, to the peoples of Oceania.
Guided by the Spirit of God, who is the strength of the gentle,
you bore witness to love, even laying down your life.
Grant that like you, we may live our daily life in peace, love and joy.
May your prayer and example bring forth many workers for the Gospel,
so that God’s kingdom may reach to the ends of the earth.
Amen
Project Compassion
I want to thank everyone for the amazing donations to Project Compassion. As a school, we raised over $270. That is quite impressive for a small school. The money raised ensures that Caritas is able to help people all over the world to access necessities such as clean water and school supplies. Thank you all for your generosity.
Mother’s Day
On behalf of the staff at St Peter Chanel, I would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmothers and other influential women in the lives of our students. I hope that you all know how appreciative we are to the hard work that you do.
Mum you are simply the best - by Fr. Amal Devadoss
Dear Mum
You are God given precious gift to me;
You are the treasure of all goodness.
No words to praise your sacrifices.
You clean and cook selflessly every day.
Your patience is praiseworthy.
You are the role model and inspiration.
You teach me the virtue of discipline.
You are simply the Best.
Dear Mum
Your love is unconditional;
Fear vanishes by your gentle kiss.
Your smiling face unveils your inner beauty.
Your caring tough soothes my heart.
You are the loveliest person I have ever met.
You are simply the Best.
Dear Mum
On this Mother’s Day,
I think of all your love and sacrifice.
I sincerely express my love to you.
I love you;
I love you and I love you wholeheartedly.
Wish you a happy Mother’s day
A Mother is ….
A sponge to absorb your tears;
A broom to clean your mistakes;
A compass to show you the way;
A tear if you need to cry
And a melody if you want to sing…
A mother is always there for everyone and
By her willingness to help others,
She totally forgets
about herself….
A Mother is SPECIAL.
