Mr Joel Weekes - Assistant Principal
Dear Members of the St Gregory’s Family,
As I sit here writing the newsletter article for this week it is hard not to look back over the past weeks with fond memories of so much success, effort and presence is on display on a day-to-day basis at the wonderful school.
It has also been peppered with sadness, with the loss of a few key members of our community. Last week, the community were saddened by the loss of Nicole Malone, the wife to Bernard Malone and mother of Declan in Year 10. Just this week, we have now had the news of the passing of Mr Brennan’s mother Margaret and Mr Todd’s mother, Margaret. It is tough times where you see the true good in many people and the Greg’s community is one that are there to support their own through tough times. We keep all of these staff members and their families in our thoughts and prayers as they process this loss. We also send our prayers to all those in the community who are experiencing difficult times.
