Recount - CATHOLIC SCHOOLS DAY-2013

On Wednesday 22 May  St Anne’s celebrated Catholic Schools’ Day. Every class celebrated either by having a party, a shared lunch or watching a movie.

It wasn’t just that. After morning tea, we had a Catholic Schools’ Day Mass and Room 5 led it.

Parishioners and parents were also part of the Mass.Our priest was Fr Dan and our altar servers were Jack Swain and Connor McKean. We started with a welcome by Mary Jane.

I said the opening prayer. We had four hymns : “Go Now”, “We Can Be the Change”, “Send out Your Spirit” and “Grow in Love”. I think we sang them beautifully .We also had some prayers of the faithful.

Mass was magnificent and our art displays about the day was amazing. If you have time come and see them displayed in our foyer.

After Mass we all went back to our classes because by the time Mass was finished, it was lunch time. Room 5 didn’t prepare a shared lunch but we all sat down on the mat and ate together.

After lunch we had fun time and in the middle of it  some Year Ones came in with several trays of scrumpcious food! It was such a surprise .So, while we were enjoying ourselves with games and free time ,we could also have a yummy snack!

Catholic Schools Day was amazing and I can’t wait until the next one!
