The Sacrament of Penance
The Sacrament of Penance has been known by
several names over the years. It was called
Confession when the emphasis was on people confessing their
sins anonymously in private. Then it became known as
penance when the emphasis was on doing something to make
up for what you had done wrong. Now it is more commonly
known as reconciliation and it is celebrated mostly within the
community. The emphasis is on recognising our need to
change, admitting our failure to love God and people in our
lives, asking for forgiveness, receiving absolution and making
peace with each other. It is good to celebrate this Sacrament
during Lent.
CELEBRATION
Last week our Year 6 students all attended Camp and Long
Bay. One of the instructors at the camp spoke to
Mrs Nelson and Miss Brayne about our children’s
behaviour. She stated that St Paul’s children were the best
behaved, showed great manners and respect and very
good listening skills. She was also impressed with the way
every child tried things for the first time. She had been an
instructor at the Camp for 8 months and our
students were outstanding.
Thank you to the parents who also made the camp such a
success and also thanks to Mrs Nelson and Miss Brayne for
their leadership and management.
We have attached a copy of our policy for Complaints and
Concerns to the newsletter this week. It is important for us
all to follow the correct procedures as these are what we
refer to in all areas of governing the school and in all our
decision making.
Any board member can be contacted through the office or if
you see us around school.

Our School Birthday
Wow! It was the school’s birthday
yesterday. We had an amazing birthday
celebration! At Mass, Father Aleki
celebrated the Mass. We sang our School Song,
greeted the new children to our school and had
ice blocks. After that we had free time to play.
On Tuesday, we went on the slippery slide! We
were very excited. We brought our togs and
towels to school. The slide was a bit ripped and
we got sore cuts which turned red. But we had
fun! It was sandy, muddy, grassy and wet at the
bottom. Ryan and others watered us with a
hose. We used dish-washing liquid to make the
slide slippery. It was cold. The girls were sunbathing after drying themselves. That was a
spectacular school birthday ever!!
I am looking forward to our next school birthday
which I think will be as great.
