This week staff and students at St Francis will be participating in "Sabbath Week".  In Christianity, the Sabbath is a holy day of rest on the seventh day of the week as commanded by God.  On this day, Christians rest, pray or meditate and spend time with their family.

With next week being Week 7, the St Francis community will be given the opportunity to slow down and take respite.

The following has been planned for the week:

• No homework for K-6 students.
• Students from 7-10 will not receive homework but are expected to continue working on formal assessment tasks.
• Staff meetings outside school hours have been cancelled.

Staff and students are encouraged to go home each afternoon and participate in some wellbeing activities.

Students in the Junior and Middle Years will be given a list of suggestions to complete throughout the week.  These activities range from exercising, assisting parents with preparing dinner, having a family movie night and tidying up their room.

We hope you also enjoy the week and opportunity to spend some quality time with your child/ren.
