From The APRIM

Dear Nativity Families,

As the school year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our School of the Nativity community for a wonderful year filled with growth, learning, and shared faith.

the past week has been a beautiful way to conclude the year, with our Carols Night, Year 6 Assembly, Graduation, and End-of-Year Thanksgiving Mass. Each event has been a testament to the spirit of our school and the values we share.

To our Year 6 students: you have been an integral part of our school, and we are so proud of the young people you are becoming. As you step forward into new opportunities, may you carry with you the Josephite heart that has been nurtured here, living out “In all things, love.”

We also extend our warmest wishes to Alex Gillespie, Lacey Carlson, and Alex Matushik, who are leaving our school community. Thank you for all you have brought to School of the Nativity, and we wish you all the best in journeys ahead.

As we prepare to celebrate the joy and peace of Christmas, I encourage everyone to take time to reflect on the true meaning of the season: the birth of Jesus, a time of love, hope, and renewal.

For those able to join the Holy Family Parish for Christmas celebrations, the Christmas Mass times are:

Christmas Eve, Tuesday 24th December

6:00 PM Family Mass (Nativity)

9:00 PM Mass (Our Lady of the Way)

Christmas Day, Wednesday 25th December

7:30 AM Mass (St Paul of the Cross)

9:00 AM Mass (Nativity)

Carols will be sung 30 minutes prior to each Mass.

May your holidays be filled with love, joy, and the blessings of the Christmas season. I look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year, refreshed and ready for the adventures that 2025 will bring.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a safe, happy holiday,

Rachel Baulderstone
