This weekend was a big one for Lara Griffiths. The 10 year old student from 5B was crowned regional champion at the Hollywood Bound Dance Championships.
During the awards ceremony, Lara also received the wonderful news that she has won a trip and been selected to represent Australia once again at the Dance World Cup and World Dance Movement events in Europe next year. It won’t be easy as Lara moves up an age division in 2019, but she is still hoping to bring home another medal to accompany the Bronze that she earned at the Dance World Cup in Spain a couple of months ago.
Lara dances at PAC Station Dance Studio in Seven Hills and is the first dancer and ambassador to be selected on the Australian team for 2019.

We celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. The Assumption of Mary is a Catholic doctrine of faith stating that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was assumed (taken up) body and soul into Heaven at the end of her life. The Catholic Church celebrates this important feast day on 15 August and, in Australia, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. Feast of the Assumption Prayer O Blessed Virgin Mary, united to the victorious Christ in heaven, you are the image and first-flowering of the Church as she is to be perfected in the world to come. You shine forth as a sign of sure hope and solace for the pilgrim People of God. In your Assumption, you manifest the fullness of redemption and appear as the spotless image of the Church responding in joy to the invitation of the Bridegroom, your Son, who is the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. Grant that we may follow your example on earth thereby imitating your Son as well and being enabled to share your glory, with Him for all eternity. Amen. 🙏💐💖
