We attended Rumplestiltskin, The Princess and the Pea, and Little Red Riding Hood as performed by the Grade 9 Drama students at SARHS. They weren't quite the conventional tales! They were hilarious! Big thanks to Ms Gauthier-Riggs for inviting us and to her students for doing an amazing job. We had a great time. Həysxw qə!

Christmas Crack Ups! (I mean Crackers!)

We worked with our Little Buddies to make Christmas crackers to add to the Christmas cheer at Our Place, The St Andrew's Cathedral Soup Kitechen and Amawin House. In all, St Patrick's made 750 crackers (look at them all in the photograph to the left) containing jokes such as these ones contributed by 4A:

What kind of photo does Santa like to take? Elfies!

Why are Christmas trees bad at knitting? They always drop their needles.

Why did Santa send his helpers to school? To learn the elf-abet.

What is every parent's favourite Christmas song? Silent Night.

What did Adam say on the day before Christmas? "It's Christmas, Eve!"

Advent means waiting.

Advent

Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We're going to see the King!

Advent means preparing.

Advent means Jesus will be here soon.

Our Bible Presentation Ceremony

Thank you to Father Benson for presenting our Bibles to us and to the Catholic Women's League for purchasing the Bibles for presentation.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

A poppy is to remember

Poppy seeds are tiny but grow into plants with beautiful blossoms. A single word helps to build a sentence, a thought, a story. Our words matter. How does this remind us of our efforts? Working together we can make a difference. What we do counts.

Therefore, let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Romans 14:19
