On Monday, 27 April, staff and students, together with Fr Paul and parents, commemorated the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli with a special liturgy. During this service we all stopped to remember those who fought for freedom, rights and peace in our nation.
To mark this special event we unveiled a special plaque in memory of all those who valiantly paid the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives so that we may live in peace. This plaque is set amongst 28 rosemary bushes, each representing one of the classes in our school.
The inscription on the plaque includes a quote from John's Gospel (15:13):
No greater love is there than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.
On the day children each wore the name of an original ANZAC and a cross with the name of each ANZAC was placed on our hill.
Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary Greystanes

ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Assumption of Our Lady when according to our faith, the Holy Mother, βhaving completed her course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly gloryβ. The Assumption signals the end of Maryβs earthly life and marks her return to heaven to be reunited with Jesus. While the bodies of both Jesus and Mary are now in heaven, there is a difference between the Assumption and the Resurrection. Where Jesus arose from the tomb and ascended into heaven by his own power, Maryβs body was taken up to heaven by the power of her Son. Hail Mary Mother of God. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop St Mary MacKillop is Australiaβs first saint and a wonderful example of courage, kindness, and deep faith. She dedicated her life to educating children, especially those in rural and disadvantaged communities, and reminded us to βnever see a need without doing something about it.β On this special day, we remember her commitment to compassion, service, and perseverance, and we pray that we too may follow her example in caring for others and living with hope and generosity. St Mary of the Cross MacKillop β Pray for us.
