Welcome to Parent Talk

Cath_with_Bishop.jpg

Welcome to the first edition of ParentTalk for 2023.

I hope the beginning of the school year has been smooth for you, and your children are settling well into the new school year. School staff have been busy preparing for their return, and I encourage you to take time to engage with your child’s school through their communication channels including their social media sites, newsletter and website.

When you know what is happening in your child’s school, you are better prepared to support them in their learning.

People_by_the_cross.jpgI had the pleasure of attending the St Joseph’s Parish Coraki 100th Centenary celebrations on Sunday 12 February. What a vibrant, welcoming parish community. St Joseph’s Primary school provided a beautiful welcome and morning tea following Mass that was celebrated by Bishop Gregory Homeming. It was lovely to see many ex-students viewing the Yarning Circle – a beautiful space that is a focal point of the school and sharing stories and memories.

CCSP is looking forward to a packed year of activities and events with something for everyone! We are keen to hear from you too, so; I am seeking your help to compete the survey in this newsletter so we can support parents and carers across NSW and the ACT to better engage with their child’s school as well as build capacity amongst our families in their role as primary educators of their children.

I am writing this newsletter while taking a short break with my husband and adult children who have travelled some distance to gather, enjoying quiet time and shared meals - such simple joys that we are grateful for given unfolding global tragedies.

Let us continue to keep in our prayers those families impacted by flooding, many still struggling with accommodation as well as those impacted by grief, worry and anxiety.

Finally, please also keep in your prayers all those impacted by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

We pray that our merciful and loving God holds you and all those suffering in the palm of his hand and gives you comfort.

Stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other my friends,

Catherine Garrett-Jones

Executive Director CCSP
