HOLY WEEK REMEMBRANCE
As we journeyed through Holy Week, our school community took time to reflect on the most sacred time in the Christian calendar. Holy Week is a time of deep meaning, as we remember the final days of Jesus’ life, His sacrifice, and the hope of new life through His resurrection.
On Thursday, our wonderful students brought the events of Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday,y to life. These moments of reflection helped our students to grow in their understanding of Jesus' love, humility, and service to others.
On Holy Thursday, we remembered the Last Supper and Jesus’ act of washing His disciples' feet—a powerful reminder of how we are called to serve one another. Good Friday offered a quiet space for prayer and reflection, acknowledging the sacrifice Jesus made out of love for all people.
On Easter Sunday, we looked forward with hope and joy to Easter Sunday, celebrating the resurrection and the promise of new beginnings.
Holy Week reminds us of the importance of faith, compassion, and hope in our everyday lives. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk this sacred journey together as a school, united in faith and community.
PROJECT COMPASSION
This Lent, our school community came together with great generosity and compassion to support Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. Through various Project Compassion Boxes, students, staff, and families showed their commitment to helping build a more just and fair world.
We are proud to share that together we raised $256 for Project Compassion! These funds will go directly toward life-changing programs that support vulnerable communities around the world—helping tPoU provide access to clean water, education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods.
We also raised $113 from our SRC 'Walk for Water' fun day. The spirit of giving and awareness of global issues was truly inspiring.
We thank all families for their support, donations, and encouragement throughout the Lenten season. Your generosity has made a real difference and reminds us that when we come together in love and service, we can help bring hope to those who need it most.
AMAZING EFFORT JOEYS!
