Dear Families and Friends,

This Sunday we will be celebrating Advent. Advent is a season of the liturgical year observed as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for Christmas. The time of Advent is not only about buying presents and going to parties, Advent reminds us to remember and prepare for the birth of Jesus.

This time of the year is also about giving. At St Francis of Assisi, we have a tradition at this time of the year to ask for donations of non-perishable foods that are then donated to

St Vincent de Paul. We ask if families could please support us by donating non-perishable foods over the coming weeks.

This week we hosted our Transition class of 2022 for their school orientation. There were some very excited and some nervous faces walking into Room 1 at the start of the day. However, when families and friends arrived to take the children home, every child had a smile on their face from ear to ear. We look forward to officially welcoming our class of 2022 next year.

Just as we give our Transition class the opportunity to learn about the school, we also give our Year 5 students the opportunity to learn more about leadership and what it looks like at

St Francis. Next week the Year 5 students will participate in a two-day leadership retreat where they will work together, participating in team-building activities, problem-solving and decision making.

Our choir has been working very hard learning their songs and dance moves for the Rural Community Carols by Candlelight this Saturday night. This is a wonderful community event and we would love to see as many families and friends at Bees Creek Primary School from 6:00pm supporting our school and enjoying the event.

Please keep Wednesday 15th of December from 9:00am free in your diaries. We will be celebrating our End of the School Year and Graduation Mass on this day. We will also be celebrating our Awards Assembly at the same time. We hope that our families and friends will be able to join us at this time.

The annual Christmas raffle will begin next week. Our prizes include an iPad, gym membership and a hamper of goodies. Tickets are only $2 a ticket or $10 for a book of 6 tickets.

See you Saturday night.

Grow in Wisdom and Love.
