1 Please read our newsletter A Heap of information is enclosed.!!!!!! Dear Parents, Congratulations to our Year 3 and 5 students who worked so well during NAPLAN testing last week. This snapshot of achievement in literacy and numeracy will provide our school with some useful data on learning improvements within our school. The data, when available, will also assist us in being able to analyse the progress that students make through the year levels. The tests have now been sent away for marking. The results should be available towards the end of next term. First Eucharist/ Confirmation This evening we have Confirmation taking place in the Church. The following students from our school will be Confirmed by Father Kerry Crowley: Alex Baston, Flynn Crema, Cohen Emmi, Jayvee Feild, Jhade Feild, Dakota Franich, Faye Giblin, Reese McNamara, Tayla Milini, Lachlan Morris, Regan Nash, Rosey Solien, Taylah Steinhofer, Dion Villaruz, Ava Wilkinson and Anthony Zonta. These students will then make their First Eucharist this Sunday. I would like to wish them all the best as they make this important faith journey in their lives. Sport Last Sunday the Peninsula Boys and Girls Under 12 Touch Football trials were held. The girls team won all of their games on the day while the boys team finished third overall.

2 From the APRE s Desk Welcome*** Community *** Hospitality*** Welcome The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity and undoubtedly the least understood member. Christians can easily identify with God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit, however, without a body and a personal name, seems distant to many, yet it dwells inside every true believer and is a constant companion in the walk of faith. This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost, the day that symbolises the end of Easter. On this day we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, a gift from God to all people, completing the trinity in our everyday lives. Pope Francis said the Holy Spirit is the strength of God; it s what gives us the strength to go forward, pushing us along a path of faith. Amen to that! Come Holy Spirit Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Let us pray. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
