Week 5

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

The Feast of Corpus Christi

The name Corpus Christi is Latin for “Body of Christ.” For Christians, particularly Catholics, this day serves as a profound reminder that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol or a religious custom, but the literal, true presence of Christ.

Corpus Christi is intrinsically linked to Holy Thursday, the day during Holy Week when the Church remembers the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. While Holy Thursday focuses on the institution of the Eucharist within the solemn shadow of Christ’s upcoming passion and Good Friday, Corpus Christi provides the Church with a separate, standalone day to focus fully and joyfully on the gift of the Blessed Sacrament itself.

Significantly, we will be celebrating our Year 4 Students making their First Holy Communion this Saturday at 6.00 pm and Sunday at 9.30 am on this very special feast day of the Catholic Church. Please keep all of our communicants and their teachers in your prayers.

Mr. Christopher Smith
Assistant Principal

CANTEEN NEWS

The new Term 2 CANTEEN MENU for 2026 is available on the MMCCPS website or alternatively if you require a hard copy, at the office or canteen. Please refer to this new menu ONLY, as many changes have taken place.

The canteen operates on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. To alleviate using money, Mary MacKillop Catholic Community Primary School has an online ordering system for canteen orders. All Online must be ordered by 8.30 am. This enables a more efficient and effective service available to you and your family. You can visit quickcliq.com.au to register.

All lunch/recess orders must be placed in classroom baskets before the class commences. They will then be taken to the canteen. If your child is late, they are to take the lunch order directly to the canteen.

All prepaid drink orders from Yrs 1-6 are to be collected by your child at the canteen with their lunch order bags as proof of purchase.

Ice creams are then sold after the students are dismissed from eating their lunch. If ice creams are pre ordered, the bag must be shown at the canteen when picking up the ice cream.

Please note, your child can purchase a drink or ice cream without pre ordering if they have money.

Parents, please do not allow your children to buy ice creams for their friends and large amounts of money should not be given to them. Thank you for your co operation in this matter.

If you wish to volunteer in the canteen please come and see me. We would like parents who have some spare time to come and help in the canteen to be a volunteer! It’s so rewarding for parents to see their children at school helping us.

If you have any queries, please come and see either myself or Kath and we will be happy to help. Regards,,

Sabrina Weale Canteen Manager
