Catholic Life & Reflection

What are students learning about?

Yesterday our Year Six students participated in the Journey with Jesus retreat. We were thrilled to have wonderful feedback about their high level of engagement and their beautiful manners with the leaders.

Here are some reflections from the kids.

Koby - I think it taught us about how Jesus died for us.

Tilly - There was role play and it showed us how Jesus gave love but if don’t share it it gets smaller.

Evie - They had a backpack and they put in a water bottle (everylasting love), torch (guide you), first aid kit (to repair your mistakes).

Jacob - Taught us that no matter what we do, good or bad, that Jesus loves and he cares for us.

Catholic Life and Reflection

My mum lives her faith. The most recent example is that just last week, my dear Great Aunty Maureen passed away. Mum brought her Communion each week and visited her each week in the nursing home. Knowing the grief of the family, she cancelled her own Mothers Day celebrations to spend time supporting her cousins. I would not have expected her to do anything else.

So this weekend we are going to celebrate the commitment my mother has to family and her strength of faith that carries her through her life.

God bless, to all the mothers in our lives.

“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” – Proverbs 31:25-28
