What a wonderful morning we had on Tuesday being led in worship by our Year 6 students and to say thank you to all those who have given of their time this year. Gratitude was the main message of the Chapel service and is defined as ‘the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.’ We are truly blessed with a supportive community of parents, grandparents, past families, extended family members… the list goes on!

I’m often asked how I’m enjoying being at St Paul’s and my response is always the same. I’m humbled by parents being willing to put their hands up to help in any way and I have seen this on so many occasions throughout 2022. St Paul’s is a positive and encouraging place to be and I am grateful to all our Parent and Family helpers who have put their hand up on one or multiple occasions. Here’s a few: sporting carnivals, PBL helpers, Tuckshop, mainly music, HMFDs, reading in class, camp/excursion helpers and bus drivers, working bees, baking… again, blown away with your help and support.

A special thank you to our amazing P&F. To the executive of this group - Kerri, Andrew, Megan & Kym – Thank you for all you have done this year. Your love and passion for St Paul’s is evident and you really are a blessing to our community.

The end of a year is always an exciting time and for some, it can be quite daunting. Our Year 6 students are nearing the end of their primary school days with us and we wish them God’s blessings as they finish this phase and prepare for the next adventure. We would like to invite all families to our End of Year Graduation & Awards Service.

It is an expectation for all students to be present and we ask students to please wear full school uniform on the night. I am looking forward to celebrating what has been a terrific year of learning, growth and connection and of course to officially farewell our graduating students: Milly, Phoenix and Aaron.

Blessings,

Hollie
