St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal
Thank you for all the amazing donations that made our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal so successful. Your compassion and generosity has ensured that many families in our local community; who may have gone without this Christmas, are able to enjoy the spirit of Christmas. Your generosity has shown an immense sense of charity and community spirit with this appeal. Thank you!
Christmas Concert
Thank you to all the staff of Guardian Angels’ for their help in producing a fantastic Christmas Concert. We were able to watch and sing along with the true story of Christmas, all while having a little bit of fun on the way.
End of Year Farewell and Blessing Assembly
On Friday the 6th of December, we will be celebrating our school year with a Farewell and Blessing Assembly. This will be held in the Shed at 11.15am and we extend a warm invite for all members of our community.
As we come to close of another school year, we reflect on everything we have achieved. While there have been some challenges, these have certainly been outweighed by all the positive things that have happened. This prayer provides a moment of contemplation for all the blessing we have received this year.
Lord,
At the end of this school year we give thanks to God;
For all the teaching and learning that has taken place in our school both in and out of the classroom,
For all the talents and gifts that have been shared and the challenges that have been faced,
For the respect and care that has been given,
We give thanks for the friendships that have just begun and for those that have grown,
We give thanks for the community that we are and we ask you, Lord, to bless our students as they end another year of growing and learning.
Bless our families as we take our holidays, may our time together leave us with memories to cherish.
Pour out your love on us that we may return renewed and refreshed to continue our journey together.
Amen
As I end my time at Guardian Angels’ I am filled with so much happiness. I feel very blessed to have been part of such an amazing community. Thank you to each of you for making my time so wonderful. I will take with me memories I will cherish forever, and I know GA will always have a place in my heart.
I wish you all a very safe, happy and relaxing Christmas break. I hope your Christmas season is filled with family, laughter and happiness and the new year brings with it many blessings.
God bless and take care,
Rhiannon
