Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Week 5, Term 2
Dear Families,
This coming Sunday we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, often
referred to as the birthday of the Church. The Holy Spirit
descended upon those who had gathered, as a sign of the
presence of God in our lives, in the form of the Holy Spirit. May
we all be renewed and strengthened by the presence of the
Holy Spirit in our lives.
On Monday we will have a whole school mass to celebrate the
Parish Feast Day, the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. We
will also celebrate 200 years of Catholic Education in Australia,
along with many other parishes and schools around
Australia. Families are welcome to join us in the church at 9am
on Monday for mass.
Today we were very excited to be joined by Her Honour the
Honourable Vicki O’Halloran, Administrator of the Northern
Territory. This is an annual event held by the Australian Library
and Information Association. Every year a picture book, written
and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read at
the same time in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare
centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places
around the country.

Monday 24 May Next week is National Reconciliation Week and the theme for 2021
PARS Tennis is ‘More than a word. Reconciliation takes action.’ The theme asks
us to move from being safe to being brave on issues affecting Abo-
Wednesday 26 May riginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We will have this as the
focus for our assembly on Friday May 28th.
Week 7
School Photos We are taking enrolments for 2022 and encourage families with stu-
dents joining us at Sacred Heart next year to start the enrolment pro-
Monday 31 May cess by completing the enrolment forms and booking an enrolment
interview through the Office.
Week 8 A reminder that supervision before school begins at 8am. If your
Sacred Heart Feast child needs to arrive prior to this time, please access the service pro-
Day vided by OSHC as we need to ensure that children are safe and su-
pervised when they arrive at school.
Friday 11 June
We will have some staffing changes next term with Nicole Emerson
advising she will be moving interstate and Latecia Christie pursuing
Week 9 other opportunities. Advertising for these positions is underway and
Queens Birthdays we will advise families when these positions are filled. We are look-
ing for casual relief teachers as well to add to our staffing, so if you
Public Holiday know of anyone who may be interested please have them make con-
Monday 14 June tact with me.
Don’t forget to drop past the Bunnings BBQ on Saturday to support
Week 10 our fundraising efforts. There are still a few positions on the roster
that need to be filled if you can spare an hour.
Last day of term

As you no doubt have heard, the second wave of COVID-19 deaths is mounting with alarming speed in India with
no end in sight to the crisis anytime soon. India's official count of coronavirus cases surpassed over 20 million last
week and the true figures are believed to be much higher than that.
Although India's frontline medics and healthcare workers are working tirelessly to save lives, people across the
nation are dying due to shortages in available oxygen cylinders, hospital beds, lack of medical supplies, or the una-
vailability of COVID-19 rapid tests.
We invite you to attend a fundraiser to support India in its fight to breathe. We are so privileged to live in a city
that has barely been touched by the horrors of the pandemic, and therefore, it's our time to step up.
Join us for a special screening of the movie "Lion" at 6:30 pm on 3 June 2021, at Casuarina Cinemas. Funds raised
from this (as well as the raffle prize on the night - excellent prizes up for grabs - so bring your spare change!) will
benefit the Caritas India COVID-19 appeal.
