Mackay Eisteddfod

EISTEDDFOD UPDATED INFORMATION

Due to the large number of entries in the Eisteddfod this year, we will need to allow ourselves more time for things like toileting and entering the facility.  Also due to the larger than usual competition, groups will only be staying for their section, not the whole session.  This means our timeslots have changed a little:

Tuesday 10 October

Year 5 - Arrive at 7.45

Wednesday 11 October

Year 4 - Arrive at 7.45

Thursday 12 October

Year 3 - Arrive at 7.45

Year 6 - Arrive at 8.45 (I may not be outside to meet you as I could still be in with the year 3's, but wait for me near the fountain)

Please encourage your students to practice their poems over the holidays.  I will run through their poems during our first week back and if they haven't rehearsed enough by that stage, we will have to withdraw from the competition.  Thanks for your assistance in this. - Ally Grech

The Good News

From the Assistant Principal: Religious Education

Venerable Catherine McAuley Prayer Celebration

Last Friday Year 2 led us in a beautiful prayer celebration to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mercy. Thank you to Miss Smith, Mrs W, Mrs Hazel, Miss Bella and Miss Turner for your organisation.

This day is celebrated worldwide on the 24th of September by the Sisters of Mercy, a religious order of women founded by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland in 1831. The Sisters of Mercy travelled to Australia and eventually to Sarina, starting St. Anne's in 1925. The Sisters of Mercy carried out works on Mercy in their communities such as feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, sheltering the homeless, teaching children and caring for our common home. St. Anne's follows in Catherine McAuley's footsteps by donating food, clothing and money to St. Vincent's De Paul, recycling cans and poppers and looking after our school environment.
