Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin’s,

Term 1 comes to an end and I would like to say thank you to my staff, students and parents for making Term 1 so special. We have all learnt many and varied things that have helped us all grow as to create a better world in which we all live. We have all made Jesus real in how we treat, greet and speak to others.

This Holy Week has been a week where we take time to reflect on the story that underpins our faith. Believing in a risen Christ is central and core to our faith.

Monday started with a liturgy to remember Palm Sunday where we celebrated Jesus triumphantly entering Jerusalem. Wednesday saw us continue that euphoria with Easter egg hunts and hat parades, followed by raffles for Easter egg prizes. Holy Thursday sees us engage in The Way of the Cross- a dramatisation of the 14 Stations of the Cross. Holy Thursday sees us recall the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus.

Being at a Catholic school enables our students to make links between the secular aspect of Easter - the eggs, hats and hot cross buns, and the Christian beliefs and events of the First Easter. It is truly a privilege to see the children all make links between how we celebrate Easter and why. They really are on a faith journey and making Jesus real in their lives each and every day.

Enjoy the Easter holidays and may the joy and love of the Risen Jesus walk with you in everything you do.

Mary-Anne Jennings
