Whats’ Happening this Week
Greetings We are fortunate that we again have little change to our
teachers for next year. Miss Morris is the only new teacher who
will be teaching in Room 4. Miss O’Sullivan is moving to Room 9
replacing Ms Waaka and Mrs Pettitt who will be working as Part Time
teachers here next year. Mr Kearns is covering for Mrs Ioane who is
taking Maternity Leave for Terms 1 and 2. All other teachers will
be remaining in their current rooms. Final class placement
information will come home with the Reports and Stationery Lists on
Friday December 13. We have had a most active Young Vinnie’s group
this year. They are asking that each child brings a Christmas
Present that can be placed on The Saint Vincent de Paul Christmas
Grotto in Stanmore Road. Please see a poster with regards this
elsewhere in the Newsletter. Thank you to those parents who got
their children to the Parish/School Mass on Sunday. It was great to
have them there. The parish appreciated your support at the Mini
Fair following Mass. School closes at 12:30 on Friday December 13.
Please ensure that your child is collected by 12:45. The Burnham
Bus will be leaving at 12:45. Best wishes Denis

How can we Live simply according to Laudato Si ’?
Before anyone in the family purchases something ask, “Do I need or
want this?” If your children want something new, discuss if it’s
important. 'Christian perfection consists in three things: praying
heroically, working heroically, and suffering heroically.' St.
