Dear Parents and carers,
As the term comes to a close, as a community we are grateful that the easing of COVID restrictions has meant that we are able to resume many school events. Last week was important as we recognised diversity.
Closing the Gap is a critical recognition of the need to address inequity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and non indigenous Australians in areas such as education and health. As a community we stand together to acknowledge this gap and commit to equity.
Harmony Day is a highlight of the school year - a day where we come together to celebrate diversity and the multicultural fabric that encapsulates the St Agnes spirit.
The wet weather did nothing to dampen the spirit of celebration and the new performance was vibrant with dance and cultural activities.
It is days such as these that we see and feel in full glory how young people can be empowered to make a difference. The school staff are incredibly proud of the community spirit that shines at St Agnes and the empowered young people that will graduate with the capacity to change the world.
Easter is a great reminder that Christ died and rose once and for all and for each one of us. His death and resurrection can Transform our lives as we endeavour to live lives that know the freedom of goodness – lives that have love for our neighbour, lives that respect all creation, lives that restore hope and mercy.
Prayer
Lord, help us to accept the grace of Christ’s resurrection.
Let us be renewed by God’s mercy.
Let us know the love of Jesus.
Let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives.
Let us become agents of his mercy, channels through which God can protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish. Amen.
Thank you to every member of our beautiful school community for making our very first term so vibrant and happy. I feel privileged to be part of the fabulous school staff team working with your children every day.
May you have a holy and happy Easter, and we look forward to seeing all students return Monday 19 April to begin Term 2.
