Dear Children and Parents,

We know that we have not met for some time but now we have GOOD NEWS: classes will restart on Tuesday 26th of October BUT with the following change:

The large group of 20 will be split into 2 groups of 10, the first from 4 o’clock to 4.45 and the second from 5 o’clock to 5.45.

Sandra and Michael will teach together and ensure the space is hygienically organised and prepared for both groups.

We have arranged the split as follows:

  • 4.00 – 4.45 Group 1: Marley B, Ethan B, Heidi B, Tess C, Lainie C, Xavier G, Luke P, Amelie R, Troy S, Leonardo W.
  • 5.00 – 5.45 Group 2: Olive C, Holly C, Billie C, Hamish C, Winter D, Beatrice H, Memphis J, Harlow M, Archie M, Archie M.

7 sessions will be held from October 26 to December 7 and the ceremony will take place in the week after that with the date, time and Covid restraints for the ceremony to be advised as soon as possible.

Children who have turned 12 should continue to wear a mask to class.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday week at Our Lady Star of the Sea church.

Blessings to you all,
Father Darien, Sandra and Michael
