On Wednesday, 1st and Thursday, 2nd April (Week 9), we will be celebrating our upcoming Easter holiday with several Easter events. Please see below.
Stations of the Cross
On Wednesday 1st April, during Holy Week, our school will take part in a special Stations of the Cross prayer experience in the school hall. Each station represents an important moment from Jesus’ final journey to the cross. Students will listen to prayers and reflective music for each station, pose for photographs that represent key moments in the story, and arrange symbolic objects that help bring the events to life.
Classes will move quietly from station to station, pausing to reflect and pray together. This meaningful experience helps students deepen their understanding of the Easter story and reflect on Jesus’ message of love, sacrifice and compassion.
This will be an in-school activity led by classroom teachers. Parents are not required to attend.
Kindy to Year 6 Easter Hat Parade
Easter is approaching! To celebrate the end of term, and to mark the Easter holiday, we would like to have an Easter Hat Parade on the morning of the last day of Term 1. The parade will commence at approximately 9am on Thursday 2nd April on the oval. Families are most welcome to come along and enjoy the parade. If weather conditions change we will relocate to the Hall.
Below is a map of where parents can stand, please do not cross the coned off areas (blue spots on the picture)
Please get creative and have a go at making an Easter hat or Easter head piece with your child. There are some ideas on Pinterest, or another option is to google image ‘Easter hat ideas’. Please see if you have any craft pieces around the house that could be up cycled. Alternatively, Kmart, Big W, Reject Shop or Red Dot have some budget friendly crafts.
The best hat as deemed by the judges on the day will get a prize!
Free Dress Day
The end of term free dress day will also be on Thursday, 2nd April. As it will coincide with the Easter Hat Parade, the theme of Easter has been chosen. Students are invited to dress up and bring along a gold coin donation that will go towards our Lenten Project Compassion fundraising efforts.
