Week at a Glance 20th January 2025 - Catholic Schools Week - Alive in Christ!

19th Jan 2025

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Catholic Schools Week 2025 will run from ~Sunday 19th January to Saturday 25th January, 2025.  

The theme this year is ‘Alive in Christ!’  

“Christ is alive! He is our hope, and in a wonderful way he brings youth to our world, and everything he touches becomes young, new, full of life. The very first words, then, that I would like to say to every young Christian are these: Christ is alive and he wants you to be alive!”  – Pope Francis.

Reflecting on this theme, our school will be exploring what it means to be fully alive as a human being – living life to the full in Christ. The theme will explore how we exist for one another in Christ, building from the wellbeing of the individual, to the wellbeing to others, to our families and communities, in God. The theme will focus on hope for all people.  Please talk to your children about what they are doing in school to celebrate our Catholic School.

We had a great turnout for our Maths Workshop for P1-P4 parents/guardians and we are looking forward to seeing as many parents/guardians as possible at the Maths Workshop for P5-P7 on Monday evening at 7:00pm.  These workshops  are superb opportunity for you to find out ways to support your child's numeracy skills.   

The PATHS Workshop has had to be postponed but we will let you know as soon as possible when the rescheduled date is.  

Please read the Week at a Glance for this week to find out what is happening in our school and keep up to date with what is happening in the school by visiting the school website.


Kind regards,

Mrs. Smith
