Last Friday our staff had our Faith Formation Inservice Day at which we looked at our school Vision and Mission Statements.  Via Zoom Mr Brad Fuller led staff through a process wherein we looked at our school history and revisited the Mary Mackillop legacy.  We still have a little work to do before we can share with you our new vision and mission statements but interestingly staff working over Zoom in two separate teams were able to come up with the exact same vision statement with only a single word of difference. How cohesive is that!

Mary Mackillop famously said “ Never see a need without doing something about it”

At St Kevin’s

At St Kevin’s this week I have witnessed two Primary students who are living out this principle.  Erin and Joshua have commenced an Art Club for Primary students.

Joshua   “I saw Erin making a drawing station and I decided to help her get more people involved by doing a drawing competition. We now have 22 members from Year 3 -6.  We have Vice President – Ruby.  Erin and I are the Presidents.  We hope that next year one of the Year 5 students will take it over and I am wondering whether Erin might like to change the name to the Jade Art Club because that is Erin’s middle name and it is a colour and we could make posters and put it up around the school. Being involved makes me feel really happy because I get to watch people draw and improve.

In the community

Thomas is involved in Cubs and is enormously proud of his recent accomplishments.

Thomas : I got the highest award in Cubs Scout movement for helping older students paint the Cubs’ Scout Hall.  I received the Grey Wolf award.  This made me feel pretty good because I’ve been working on it for a year.  My next goal is to move in Scouts and get a Sash.

Well done Thomas! Keep up the great work.
