Dear Parents and Carers,

This Sunday our Year 3 students commence their preparation to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist - another central element of our Catholic faith. Eucharist comes from the Greek eucharistia, meaning thanksgiving. When we receive the Eucharist we are nourished spiritually, brought closer to God. Registration for the Sacrament will take place straight after 9:30am Mass this Sunday, the 2^nd of May. It is open to all students in Yr. 3 and above.

The St Thomas More Parish is inviting girls to sign up to be altar servers. (The invitation is also open to boys). If your child has made their First Eucharist and would like to serve, please contact the parish office.

ANZAC Day liturgy

Thank you for attending the ANZAC Day liturgy last Friday; it was a a great opportunity for the school community to come together and keep the tradition of ANZAC Day alive for our children.

Cross Country Carnival

The Cross-Country Carnival today was a huge success. We couldn’t have done it though without all the parent volunteers. Particular thanks to Mrs Pam Sixsmith for all her organisation.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Ruby Kenny, Dominic Shoebridge, Riley Bransdon and Charlie Jorgensen for competing in the ACT Primary Schools Swimming Carnival which was held at Stromlo Pool today. You did STM proud!

Mother’s Day

On Friday, May 7, parents are invited to attend our Mother’s Day breakfast. The event is being coordinated by our Yr. 1 parent contact, Fiona Scott, and with the help from our wonderful Yr. 1 parents, breakfast will be served from 8:15am. Please continue to send in donations for the Mother's day raffle. The raffle will be drawn at morning assembly. 

Open Week at STM is next week…

 Yours sincerely,

Julie Wiley
