Our community has been deeply saddened by the passing of one of our parents Mrs Peta Willard. Mrs Willard is survived by her husband Nathan and two sons Fletcher and Parker.

Peta’s funeral was held at St Paul’s Church on Friday, 17 May 2019. Our school community was represented by several staff members as well as some families. Peta was a much-loved mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, friend, teacher and mentor. She will be missed by many.

We ask you to continue to keep the repose of Peta’s soul in your prayers and to pray for strength for Nathan, Fletcher, Parker and their extended family.

Eternal rest
Grant unto her
O Lord
And may perpetual light
Shine upon her
May she rest in peace

National Sorry Day & Reconciliation Week

National Sorry Day 2019 falls this year on Sunday, 26 May 2019 and is a day when we pause to remember the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  

It leads us into the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation and National Reconciliation Week.

National Reconciliation Week is held each year between May 27 & June 3, 2019. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements. It is also a time to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Gospel calls us to stand in solidarity with the most vulnerable and marginalised in our society.     

It is our Christian responsibility to stand for and contribute to a vision of a reconciled, just and equitable Australia.

At St Paul’s we will focus on Reconciliation Week on Friday, 24 May 2019 during our Prayer Assembly.
