Project Compassion Mufti Day Friday 15 March
Our SRC has organised a mufti day on Friday 15th March to continue to raise funds for our Project Compassion program. All funds raised will go to Project Compassion to assist those who are less fortunate, to access clean drinking water, education and services.
Tomorrow, classes will wear colours that are found on the flag of their country of focus. For example, Kinder can wear red, blue, white and yellow clothes as their focus country is the Philippines. Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation for wearing mufti. Please see the colours for each class below:
K/1/2: PHILIPPINES
CLOTHES: RED, BLUE, WHITE, YELLOW
3/4: SAMOA
BLUE, RED, WHITE
5/6: MALAWI
BLACK, RED, GREEN
Project Compassion Tally
To date, we have raised a grand total of $333.80. We are so proud of our school community. If everyone was to bring $2 on Friday, that will see us go beyond the $500 mark!
St Patrick’s Day –Friday March 17
Sunday is St Patrick’s feast day. He is the patron saint of Ireland and one of the world's most popular saints. He taught people about the Trinity (three persons of God) using a shamrock (3 leaf clover). He is an important saint in Crookwell as many ancestors are of Irish descent. It would be great to see many of our school community at mass on Sunday to celebrate St Patrick.
The Prayer of St. Patrick
I arise today,
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save.
Afar and a near…Alone or in a multitude…
Christ shield me today, against wounding.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.
