This weekend, we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity - an opportunity to renew and deepen our worship and love for God. The Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - is a sacred mystery. It’s something so profound that even in Heaven, we will never fully understand the depth of God’s inner being. Only God truly knows Himself. Not even the Blessed Virgin Mary or the highest angels see Him as He sees Himself. Still, we are all invited - angels and humans alike - to explore and reflect on this mystery as much as we can. In doing so, we come to understand our purpose and experience the joy and peace that only God can give.
He alone satisfies the longing of every heart.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now,
and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen
We’re excited to be part of the growing number of schools across WA taking part in the Containers for Change programme! This initiative encourages students, families and staff to make recycling a regular habit—whether it’s on school grounds, at home or in the local community.
By taking part in Containers for Change, Holy Rosary has a great opportunity to make a real difference. We can help the environment by recycling and reducing waste that goes to landfill, while also teaching students about how recycling works and why it’s important. It’s a great way to raise money for school projects and support local causes. Along the way, we’ll be encouraging positive habits that can lead to a better future, keeping our school and community cleaner and giving the Year 2s and Year 5s students a chance to take on leadership roles and show responsibility.
School Donation Point
A large Containers for Change collection bin has been placed in the carpark beside the Kiss and Drive area. This allows families and members of the community to conveniently drop off eligible recyclable containers. The collected items will be returned through the programme, helping us raise valuable funds to support our school.
Let’s work together to give drink containers a second life and make a real difference for our school and our planet!
Dear Parents, in the last 2 weeks we have had two confirmed cases of Whooping Cough in Year 5 and 6. The school medical room has been busy with the majority of students presenting with tummy pains and headaches. If your child vomits or has diarrhoea, please adhere to the below information from Health Direct who are a government-funded service, providing quality, approved health information and advice. Thank you for your co-operation.
Our Year 6 Christian Service Group is currently helping our local Vinnies to fill their pantry. If you have any donations to add to their Term 2 appeal, please put them in the tub in your classroom or in administration by this Thursday 19th June. Please no fresh food or items that need refrigeration. Thank you for your support.

Have a lovely weekend, Mrs Butson
The Scholastic Book Fair re-orders have arrived and have been delivered to your children yesterday. Apologies for the delay and thank you for your patience.
The Senior Chess Tournament plays Round 4 next week. As always, it is wonderful to see the high levels of sportsmanship as well as kindness and resilience during and after games.
Years 1, 2 and 3 can sign up for the Junior Chess Tournament from next week, and it will start in Term 3. Children who sign up for the Tournament are expected to play. Lots of preparation goes into planning the rounds and it is disappointing for players when their opponent does not show up. Please support your children by explaining to them that once they sign up, they are committed to play.
Practising chess with them over the holidays so that they know the basic rules is also a great idea. I have many chess books in the library to borrow and there is also lots of information online. Here is a link to a good website. https://www.chesskid.com/learn/articles
Good luck!
Mrs Butson
