Christmas is the time of love, peace, hope and goodwill.
So why do we push and shove in lines at the the shopping centre?
Why are we impatient in the parking lot or when when online?
Jesus is the true gift of Christmas
Christmas is the time to share a meal and conversation with those we love.
Wouldn't it be wonderul if we also thought of the friendless and the lonely?
Jesus is the true gift of Christmas
Christmas is the time for turkey, prawns, pavalova, drinks and parties.
Yet do we share our abundance with those people in our communities who do not have enough to eat?
Jesus is the true gift of Christmas
Open your hearts first, not your bags.
Think of others first, not of yourselves.
For Christmas is the birthday of Jesus.
It does not matter what presents we can afford,
Because... Jesus is the true gift of Christmas
Amen

Robyn would like to say thank you for your generous words and gifts as she finishes up as Principal of our school. She is looking forward to coming back to our school next year.
We welcome Phil Nielsen, Angela Scott and Emma Jackson as our new leadership team. We also welcome Josie Parker and Jacqui Cuthbertson to our teaching staff.
We farewell Stacey Maier as she takes leave to start her family.
Four years ago we welcomed Fr Emil to the west and sadly we are saying farewell to him. With his gentle manner Fr has not only guided our spiritual development but has also demonstrated a genuine and caring interest in all of us and what makes up the culture of our school. The students appreciate Fr Emil’s presence on the playground and he began his relationship with the children with ice blocks and water pistol cooling off that first February when Fr was feeling the heat a lot more than the kids. In was not long before Fr joined Mr Nielsen in extending the chess club which has been very popular with students of all ages. Class and school masses have also been a highlight these past four years. Fr always has a little story to tell the students that connects with their interests. Fr has been very hands on when preparing the students for the sacraments of first Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Fr Emil has had pastoral responsibilities that not only include West Wyalong and surrounding villages but extends also to Lake Cargelligo. The staff have all very much appreciated Fr Emil’s graciousness and patience and his willingness to accommodate our needs and work with our timetable. We thank you Fr Emil and wish you well in your move to Canberra.
