Holy Week Journey

Our classes over the last 2 weeks have undertaken the journey of Holy Week, remembering the events in the lead up to the death of Jesus.  During this, they spend time reflecting on events including; Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, the Washing of the Feet, Judas’ betrayal and Jesus carrying the cross.  Through all of this, the message came down to how we can be people of love, peace and forgiveness, as Jesus taught us.  Our parish, the Ministerial Region of the Good Shepherd, will be holding a number of services around Holy Week.  Please check on their notices to find a time that might suit your family.

Northern Region Rugby League and Netball

Today I had the pleasure of joining the Rugby League team at Brothers for a day of hard hitting action.  It was great to see the development of the players throughout the day, with a huge improvement from the first to the last game.  We also had our very first Interschool Football win in St Benny’s colours, which was very exciting.  It was great to see the team get together and show good sportsmanship throughout the day.  

I wasn’t at Netball, but I have heard some good results and I’m sure the team over at Murray put in a big effort throughout the day.  A big thanks to the teachers, Mr P, Miss Garbutt, Mr Callum and Mrs Kern, who helped on the day, and a extra big thanks to Aaron Payne who helped give some coaching sessions to the footy side this year.
