On Tuesday, 4th April and Wednesday, 5th April (Week 10), we will be celebrating our upcoming Easter holiday with several Easter events. Please see below.
Stations of the Cross
On Tuesday, 4th April, our Year 4 students will be leading us in a freeze frame presentation of the Stations of the Cross. The students will gather at 8:50am in the School Hall and families are welcome to join us for this presentation.
It will be a solemn reminder of Our Lord’s Passion, and the tremendous sacrifice Jesus undertook for our redemption.
Pope Francis provides eight reasons as to why we should pray the Stations of the Cross:
- They allow us to place our trust in Jesus
- The put us into the story – Jesus is looking at you now and is asking: Do you want to help me carry the Cross?
- They remind us that Jesus suffers with us
- They compel us to action – teaching us always to look upon others with mercy and tenderness, especially those who suffer
- They help us make a decision for or against Christ
- They reveal God’s response to evil in the world – through love, mercy, and forgiveness
- They give us the certainty of God’s love for us
- They guide us from the Cross to the resurrection
Families may also like to consider attending the Innaloo/ Karrinyup Parish Stations of the Cross, which will take place at 9:30am at St Dominic’s Church on Good Friday.
Kindy Easter Hat Parade
Our Kindy students will be engaging in a fun Easter Hat Parade on Tuesday, 4th April. The parade will commence at 2:30pm in the Kindy classroom and students will be making their special hat during class time. Kindy families are most welcome to attend the parade. For further details, please refer to the poster that was sent out by Amanda earlier in the week. A link to the post can also be found here.
PP to Year 6 Easter Hat Parade
Easter is approaching! To celebrate the end of term, and to mark the Easter holiday, we would like to have an Easter Hat Parade on the morning of the last day of Term 1. The parade will commence at approximately 8:50am on Wednesday, 5th April in the Hall. Families are most welcome to come along and enjoy the parade.
Please get creative and have a go at making an Easter hat or Easter head piece with your child. There are some ideas on Pinterest, or another option is to google image ‘Easter hat ideas’. Please see if you have any craft pieces around the house that could be up cycled. Alternatively, Kmart, Big W, Reject Shop or Red Dot have some budget friendly crafts.
The best hat as deemed by the judges on the day will get a prize!
Free Dress Day
The end of term free dress day will also be on Wednesday, 5th April. As it will coincide with the Easter Hat Parade, the theme of Easter has been chosen. Students are invited to dress up and bring along a gold coin donation that will go towards our Lenten Project Compassion fundraising efforts.
P&F Easter Raffle
Our annual P&F Easter Raffle will be drawn after the Easter Hat Parade on Wednesday for our Pre Primary to Year 6 students and after our Kindy parade on Tuesday afternoon. Prizes will be held in the office until the end of the day and then handed out handed out to students to take home. For details regarding how you can enter and get involved in the raffle, please refer to the post sent out by our P&F, which is linked here.
