1. Remembrance Day at St Kieran

The students reverently participated in a moving Remembrance Day Liturgy lead by the St Kieran Staff at 11 am in the undercover area.

This year at the Australian War Memorial a pigeon had been flying each day down to the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier to steal poppies, carefully crafting a nest in the lead-up to Remembrance Day in an alcove above the stained-glass window of a wounded Australian soldier.

The wounded soldier symbolises the defining quality of “endurance”, and the nest of poppies nearby is a poignant reminder of the powerful bond between human and beast on the battlefield.

At St Kieran, we have an owl that has taken up residence in the trees in the Grotto area where the Remembrance Day Poppies have been placed by students.

The owl could be a symbol to all of us of ancient wisdom, maturity, and strength of character, and can guide us into exploring the unknowns about life.

When you stop at the Grotto to say hello to our owl maybe it also be a time to stop and reflect.

LEST WE FORGET

Osborne Park Show Performance

We wish the Junior and Senior Choir lead by Ms Anita Johnson all the best with their performance at the Osbortune park show tonight.

They will be performing from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm with other schools in the area.

Ms Johnsson and the St Kieran community are very proud of what they have achieved so far this year in the short time they have been together as a choir.
