Today, students will explore their digital Religion textbook, "Growing in Faith, Growing in Christ." I have uploaded today's work in your child's Religion folder in his/her Google Drive.

Next week has been designated as Catholic Education Week and you would have received a detailed letter from Mrs Di Labio explaining what this means for our Catholic community during this difficult time. Please take some time to read through this message which discusses the underlying theme of "Igniting Hope."

As a Catholic school community, this week is something we always look forward to; this week highlights the positive values, social responsibility and the development of the whole child through faith-based education.

Unfortunately, this week will not be the same as past years. Personally, I will miss taking the St. Gregory choir to sing at St. Paul's high school for Choral Celebration, our annual open house to display our academic excellence, celebrating Mass with Father Tim and of course, all the activities that take place at St. Gregory's during this special week.

Thinking of these memories really emphasizes the relevance and positive message of this year's theme, "Igniting Hope." I encourage everyone to demonstrate and display your message of hope for others or yourself and post it to Twitter #ocsbHope next week.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!
