Wow, the year has seemed to pass so quickly and it is amazing how many wonderful opportunities we have had as a school community to celebrate the wonderful gifts God has given to us. From Farm Days, Band Concerts, Field Trips, Sporting events, Adoration, Masses, year end field trips, and the addition of more classrooms we have had many opportunities to witness our school community come together sharing our gifts, and reflecting the Division theme “Inspired by Christ on a Journey to Encounter, Nurture and Serve!”
We encourage you to come and visit the school, have a tour meet some staff if you are looking to register or are new to town. We would love the chance to show off our school, our students and our staff. Thank you for our many blessings this year and we are looking forward to finishing the year up and preparing for our final assessments as we journey towards the end of a wonderful year. This is also an opportunity to bid farewell to an incredible group of Grade 8 students who have left a very positive legacy at our school. We wish you all the best as you journey forward to St. Dominics and may you always be thankful for the memories that St. Matthew has provided for you. We encourage our community to take the opportunities throughout the summer to refresh and reconnect with our families.
A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God
This summer
In whatever you do
Wherever you go
Walking with God means...
Walking with honesty
And with courage,
Walking with love
And respect
And concern for the feelings of others
May you talk to God
This summer
And every day and
In every situation
Talking with God means...
Praying words of praise
For the beauty of creation
Saying prayers of thanks
For friends and good times,
Asking God's help
In all your decisions
Expressing sorrow
When you have failed
May you talk with God
Every day
Amen
