Dear families
We had a beautiful liturgy for our students and staff this morning. Special thanks to Miss Regan, our student Liturgy Leaders and Father Doug who all showed tremendous leadership during this time of sorrow. We are also grateful to those families who were able to join us. As a staff we will continue to keep a close eye on our students and will deal with any questions raised in an age appropriate way.
After the liturgy we had a lock down drill - this all went very well. Our students were all very attentive and calm. We are very fortunate to have a intercom system where students can hear instructions inside the school and outside in the playground.
We do plan to have another drill this week at a different time of the day. We will then be reviewing the drills and processes at our Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday.
Please find attached our Liturgy and a list of web sites the Ministry of Education have sent out to schools.

Families have been very generous in sending links to websites I am currently putting a list of these together and will publish in our Wednesday newletter.
Blessings to you all.
