Father Brendan has shared the two attached readings for you to reflect on. You are warmly invited to take some time to read and consider the ideas they explore.

Do you have a garbage bin like the one in this photo that we could borrow for the school musical, please?

We would like 3 altogether.

Please deliver to the school office or Kopuwai.

Thank you

Good afternoon, everyone,

While Chrissy is on leave, tickets for our school musical, Spring Chicken, will be available from the office at the following times for the rest of this week:

8.30–9.00 am
2.55–3.15 pm
The office may be unattended outside these hours. I will be around the school but may not always be in the office. Of course, if you see me in the office at another time, I’m more than happy to sort tickets for you!

If you need to contact the school or pass on a message, please ring the school or email me directly at julieflannery@stgerards.school.nz.

I will update you on next week's arrangements.

Thank you for your understanding.

Julie Flannery
