Community Update # 3.4

 Assumption of Mary Sunday 15 August 

God chose Mary to be the mother of his son, Jesus. Mary was always ready and willing to do whatever God wanted. Because she was so special she was taken up body and soul to be with Jesus in heaven – this is what ‘Assumption’ means.

When we need hope to overcome life's everyday challenges, we can pray to the blessed Mary.

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."


Flexible & Remote Learning Guidelines
This is a reminder about the guidelines and expectations for children, parents & staff as part of our Flexible & Remote learning. You can access all of this important information at this link. It includes a reminder about attendance to Zoom meetings and the protocols we all need to follow to ensure success during the lockdown period. 
Children requesting onsite attendance must email principal@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au by Friday prior to the start of the week. A new request needs to be made each week. The early notification is necessary to ensure covid safe staff ratios onsite.

Daffodil Day August 27 and Spoonville 2021
It's time to create your amazing spoons for our 2021 Garden of Hope. Lawrence our wonderful caretaker has tilled the soil and prepared the garden for your spoons. After you decorate the spoon come and pop it into the garden when you are out for a walk.
Ms Karin is busy working on the beautiful bird bath to eventually go into the garden (below is a sneak peak of the design).
Further below, is the flyer that Millie, Eliza and Tessa designed with their mum Gabby to help us get ready to celebrate Daffodil Day at school.




The school closure day planned for Friday August 20 is cancelled
