And take each other by the hand, How can we sit and bear, And just not give a care? We have to be polite, Stand together and unite, Does it really matter if we re black or white? Just because we re different doesn t mean we have to fight, No need to judge anyone by the colour of their skin, I mean racism is like an unwritten sin, We shouldn t jump to a conclusion, No more colour exclusion, Because words also attack, Like a knife in the back, We don t have to judge each other by the colour of our face, It s 2016, it doesn t matter about the race! We only have one heart, So don t tear it apart. BLESSING MASS - PREP, 1, 2 By Therese and Sandy 6H This weekend is the last Blessing Mass for all Prep, grade 1 and 2 children for 2016.

FRED HOLLOWS RAP By Mabior Malual 5A Fred he was nice He never had lice He helped people with their eye sight He took a flight around the world He never twirled He was a good man But we don t know if he had a nan But what we do know he did have a pan Sandy Blight Get out of my sight We don t want this It s a war against blindness Wash your hands Don t play in the sand Keep clean unless you want flies that carry disease You can get sandy blight with a dirty towel That s foul This man swears But he still cares He helped people to become an eye specialist He was just like Jesus But the day he passed away He was known as a great man not a bad dirty hand
