It is the 4th and last Sunday in Advent and it is time to light the 4th candle.
The 4th candle on the Advent Wreath is purple in colour and it represents God’s love
for us. He showed  His love for us by sending His Son to die on the cross to save us from our sins.

Extra-Curricular Activities have ceased until after Christmas. A new list of activities will be posted in the new year.

It is the 3rd Sunday in Advent already and Christmas is just around the corner. The candle for the 3rd Sunday in Advent is pink and it represents the Joy of the shepherds on hearing the news of Christ’s birth and the Joy that God brings into our everyday lives. Christians rejoice because the wait for Christ is nearly over.

The school will close at 12.30 p.m. on Friday, December 11th 2009 to facilitate the monthly staff meeting.

Peace

The 2nd candle is purple and is a reminder of the peace God brings to us by forgiving our sins.
