Compassionate
In partnership with families, we are committed to educating children who are:
Compassionate - Loving one another as Jesus showed us.
A Prayer for Compassionate Eyes, Ears and Heart
O Lord, open my eyes that I may see the need of others,
open my ears that I may hear their cries,
open my heart so that they need not be without succour.
Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong,
nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.
Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,
and use me to bring them to these places.
Open my eyes and ears that I may, this coming day, be able to do some worl of peace for thee.
Charlotte Pursehouse
who celebrates her birthday during this week.
We hope you enjoy your special day.

Well done to the students who qualified for our ‘speak off’ with Lake Cargelligo. All students spoke tremendously well. Congratulations to Will McDonell, Hannah McDonell and Pippa Cuthbertson who travelled today to St Mary’s in Young for the Western Region Finals. A special thanks to Lou Daniher and Kylie Tulloch for adjudicating.
Good Luck to Indi and Meila Fair, Lexi Patton and our Senior (Max Cuthbertson, James Dean, Nate Sams and Edward Tulloch) and Junior (Billy Pettit, Ricky Smith, Will McDonell and Hugh Ridley) boys relay teams that will represent the Western Region at the Archdiocesan Athletics Championships in Canberra on Tuesday.

We have noticed for some time the wastage occurring with juice bombs due to them being a can. We have made the decision to switch to Chill J which is essentially the same and even made by the same company but is produced in a bottle. We will trial a few flavours over the coming months until we settle on some favourites.
The following products have also changed after the feedback we gathered from the student survey conducted in Term 2:* Zooper Doopers out for Snapstix
* Pies have returned to Four’N Twenty brand
~ Frozen loaves of Garlic Bread are available on Qkr! To purchase due to an over order. They can be picked up on a Monday at 3:20pm until further notice ~
Wednesday 6th September
The West Wyalong Show Day is a half day public holiday in our town. In lieu of the St Mary's Twilight Swimming Carnival, the CEO Canberra Goulburn has granted approval for our school to close for the morning of show day.
This means children and staff will not come to school on show day and gives everyone an opportunity to enjoy a full day at the show. Bus companies have been informed of this change.
