Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin’s,

This week has seen us celebrate and remember our Saints – All Saints day and All Souls Day. Whilst live streaming Sunday Mass. Bishop Brian Mascord spoke not only about the Saints we know of and formally recognise such as Mary MacKillop, but of all the others who are saints through their words and actions, who are not formally acknowledged but none the less lived or are living lives that reflect the love of Jesus in everything they do. How many saints have you known or currently know? How are you making Jesus real each and every day through your interactions with others? A challenge for all of us!!!!

Term 4 is shaping up to be the fun term for 2020!!! So far, we have had our Book Parade and the Soctober Football Challenge. In coming weeks, we will celebrate NAIDOC Week, have our swimming carnival, engage in Buddy Training with Years 4 and 5, and then prepare for end of Year awards and liturgies. So, 2020 may have been a bit slow and quiet at times, but it is finishing with a bang!

Kindergarten 2021 Transition mornings begin on Friday November 6, and continue each Friday throughout November. We are all very excited to meet face to face our new kinders and their parents – all be it just a 10 minute “Hi” for the parents! Our K2U Facebook page has been very well received by all and I thank Mrs Cate Larke for all her work in driving this initiative.

This week we also welcome a new family into our village - Aleisha and Aaron along with their 3 children, Mia Year 5, Jayda Year 3 and Zeus in Kindergarten. We extend a very warm welcome to you all and hope that you come to know and love the St Kevin’s Village as much as we do.

So here’s to our growing village! Keep safe everyone and continue to Make Jesus Real every day in the way you greet, treat and speak to others.

Regards,

Mary-Anne Jennings
