Poem of the week

As the blink-and-you-miss-it month between Christmas holidays and mocks goes hurtling by, we can get lost in the litanies of problems and the never-ending to-do lists inside our heads. Julie O’Callaghan warns us that the inner thought process is a sneaky thing… thoughts that go unchecked can magnify and spiral beyond recognition. Before you know it, those miniscule, menial mole-hills have become monstrous mountains, and you simply can’t relax UNTIL EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS AS PANICKED AS YOU ARE!! This week’s poem is dedicated to everyone in Our Lady’s, in what is arguably the maddest week of the year! Problems Take weeds for example. Like how they will overrun your garden and your life if you don’t obliterate them. But forget about weeds —what about leaves? Snails use them as handy bridges for your flowers and hordes of thuggish slugs will invade—ever thought about that? We won’t even go into how leaves block up the gutters. I sure hope you aren’t neglecting any puddles of water in your bathtub —discoloration will set in. There is the wasp problem, The storms problem, the grass Growing-between-the-bricks-in-the-driveway problem. Then there’s the remembering to Lock-all-the-windows problem. Hey, knuckleheads! I guess you just don’t appreciate How many problems there are. Julie O’Callaghan

On Wednesday our girls had their fourth Development Day. B's are now qualified in First Aid, the C's made two Hollywood worthy short films and the L's and P's completed their workshop in self defence. The students have been hard at work on Musical preparations all week. The GPA has been converted into a beautiful abbey for our musically talented nuns and we look forward to seeing you all next week for 'Sisterhood!'. Some tickets are still available, please get your daughter to buy your tickets at lunchtime sales to prevent disappointment. We cannot guarantee tickets will be available at the door every night. School will be starting and finishing at regular times next week and during the school day your daughter will be operating on her regular school schedule.
