I have one of the longest surnames at the school and I managed to touch-type my answers on a mobile phone in less than two minutes. Don’t put it off – do it right now!

Next Tuesday CSYMA (Catholic Schools Youth Ministry Australia) will be running an all-day retreat for our Year 6 leaders.

The day focuses around equipping each child with a metaphorical 'backpack of faith' to take with them on the journey of life. Inside the backpack, they will be introduced to helpful tools they can use for the ups and downs, new beginnings and changes in their life such as starting high school.

Students are welcome to wear free clothes for the day and they will need to bring their lunch as a normal school day.

Regards,

Grace Lustri
Holy Trinity Youth Minister
