DISPLAYING COURAGE? ..
To me, having courage used to mean overcoming extraordinary challenges, like climbing Mount Everest or running with the bulls. It never dawned on me that I demonstrate bravery every day, in fact, we all do. Even though we aren?t necessarily facing tough physical challenges like climbing a mountain, we deal with a variety of obstacles and a multitude of fears as a part of our daily lives.

Term 4 always brings with it a multitude of occasions and celebrations. Each one of these, without wishing our year away, comes on us very quickly. They include more Overnight Camps, Excursions, Swimming Carnival, School Performance, End of Year fun days, Orientation Days, Year 6 Celebrations and Final Assemblies. I?m almost exhausted thinking about them.

Friday marks the final day for Term 3. We have much to be proud of in the past 10 weeks. Some of our achievements and events include:
– Parish/School Masses
– NAIDOC celebrations
– Installation of our new Drink Stations

Last Sunday, we celebrated Father’s Day. We openly talk about fathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, grandfathers, uncles and the loved men in our lives. Many of us are blessed to have a combination of father figures who love and support us.

If we surveyed all parents, I am confident it could be any of the above in a variety of combinations, with parents having different prioritized reasons as to why they choose to send their children to Holy Spirit School.

On Friday last week at our assembly, I was incredibly humbled to be acknowledged by the school community on Primary Principal?s Day. It was lovely to hear the choir sing and the very kind words by Mr Michael, our School Captains and the Kinder students. I am incredibly lucky to have a very committed staff to work with each day, and a team is more powerful when it works together
