Advent
The season of Advent begins this weekend. Advent is a time of waiting. We wait for the birth of Jesus, who came to show us God the Father's love. We wait for him in our hearts, our classrooms, our homes, our parish community and in the world.
Just as we have spent time during the pandemic waiting to reconnect with family and friends, our appreciation of the joy we feel when we are reunited with our loved ones is precious.

Class Reps 2021
The Parents & Friends Committee are looking for volunteers to be their representatives in each class or year level for 2021.
The main role of the Class Reps is really to foster a sense of community within the year level by:
- Welcoming new families who may joining mid year.
- Being a conduit from the P&F to the families in your class/year in relation to P&F social events or fundraising efforts
- Organising social events for your year level in conjunction with your other year level reps
Given our current inability to socially gather at school it is even more important than ever that each year level have persons who can be a point of contact.
If you would like to volunteer, or would like more information – please email pandf@spmurrumbeena.
Thank you in advance for the hundreds of unique ways you each support the school.
