Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,

This week the Gospel explains that this passage is part of a long dialogue where Christ clarifies the meaning of His miracles. Jesus has just explained that He, Himself, is the ''Bread of Life'' which people are meant to seek. Jesus tells us that no one can come to him unless God draws us to Jesus. With the Grace of God we can find the strength to make the choices that will transform us and Jesus will lead us to everlasting life.

This week, our Year 5's are completing the newsletter filled with many stories about camp. As mentioned last week, it was a great success, and this does not happen without the incredible work and support of St Patrick’s staff. Firstly, a BIG thank you to Shiny Antony for her wonderful organisation of the year 5 camp experience. From all the activities at Kryal Castle to Sovereign Hill, the students were kept entertained and learning so much about life on the Goldfields and in the days of medieval. Thanks also to Katherine Gronek and Noleen Chalmers, Paul Beswick and Catherine Edwads and Richard Oryem for also taking time away from their loved ones to be at camp with our students and make it a memorable occasion for all.

Thanks also to my staff back at school who keep things running smoothly!

Take care and God Bless,

Meg
