Dear parents and carers of St Kevin’s,

Term 1 2025 has come to a close. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy Easter, when we celebrate the most important time of our Church year.  The historical events of Holy Week are central to our lives as Catholics and are part of prayers we recite publicly at Mass stating our beliefs and faith. These prayers are the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed. 

The Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed are both Christian statements of faith, but the Nicene Creed, developed at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, is considered the more authoritative and is accepted by major Christian denominations, while the Apostles' Creed, a shorter and older creed.

On Easter Sunday reciting the Creed will be replaced by us renewing our Baptismal Promises as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Having toured the Holy Land on a Pilgrimage, the Easter story is definitely more poignant for myself having visited these historical sites. We have all heard of the current conflict in Israel, and I ask that at this most Holy time of the year, we pray for peace, not only for Israel and Palestine, but also for all areas of the world experiencing violence and conflict of war.

Go gently if you are travelling over the Easter holidays. Enjoy eating all those delicious hot cross buns and chocolate Easter eggs too.

Thank you to all the amazing staff and parents and students that make St Kevin’s such a great school. See you next term.

Easter raffle

Thank you for all those wonderful donations of Easter eggs that have created our Easter Egg Raffle prizes. They were all wrapped into baskets and boxes with some amazing selections being created by Kira Rook. The choice was awesome. Thank you, Kira, for your time in wrapping all those eggs.
