RE Week 8 - Who do you say I am?
Community Pantry
Thank you to those families who have contributed a meal/s to the Community Pantry. As we head into school holidays, if you have some time over the weekend to cook an extra batch of spaghetti or casserole or a batch of muffins or biscuits, it would be very much appreciated.
Lent
Thank you to those families who have sent in photos or emailed about their Lenten Reflection. We hope that this has provided a focus for your family throughout the time of Lent.
Holy Week
Next Week we will commemorate the days of Holy Week. Our newly formed Youth Ministry Team will lead the school in a reflection next Thursday 1st April.
Friendship Fridays
Friendship Friday is a renewed initiative to embrace and develop the sense of community which forms the heart of St Thomas the Apostle school.
The initiative aims to;
- Encourage new friendships
- Develop positive, supportive networks
- Provide a space for siblings to meet and play
- Provide activities for young children to engage with
- Engage with some charitable works such as craft or cooking activities for members of our school and Parish community. (No skill required!)

We encourage you to come and join us on a weekly basis or as often as you choose. A balance of adults with young children and adults with only school-aged children would be wonderful. It is really important that everyone feels welcome. Those with children in upper grades would provide positive support to those new to our community while those new to the community could develop friendships that have the potential to span many years.
We will begin in Term 2 Week 1 with a general meet and greet and discussion on what the initiative looks like. Activities for following weeks may include; cooking for the community pantry, making some muffins/biscuits for families in need/parishioners, making cards, doing some gardening, book sharing and walking.
We hope to see this initiative well supported by our wonderful community.
Sacraments
Thank you to all those families who attended Sacramental Enrolment Masses/Prayers. If you have missed the enrolment, please contact Penny Vanzwol through the Front Office.
Harmony Day
We look forward to a lovely day on Friday. The Mini Vinnies Team members have worked hard to ensure that the experience is meaningful and enjoyable.
