What Students Are Learning About

There has been a lot happening in classrooms!

4 Blue had their class mass with Fr Michael. The students participated by helping with the readings and prayers of the faithful.

Yesterday Year 6 students making their Confirmation were supported by Youth Minister Lachlan Bull and their teachers to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the chapel. They have been working hard to learn about different Saints and reflecting on the Sacrament.

Year 5 have been thinking about the Emmaus story and preparing to share this with us next week in assembly.

We are busy!

Catholic Life and Reflection

When my eldest son was born 19 years ago, I got my very first digital camera. Since then, I have taken more than 70, 000 photos.  I take photos of everything, the unusual and the ordinary. So, this weekend I am off to a craft retreat and will be able to make a small dint and scrapbook some of them!

I have spoken recently about finding “tiny drops of stillness”. Painting, photos, stitching, scrapbooking being creative, are part of my stillness. It helps me to feel more connected. I get into a “flow state” and time passes quickly. My mind, although working busily on colourful creations, has time to process and settle.

Although I get less sleep than usual….I came away from these weekends feeling refreshed and better connected to myself. 

Jesus took time to move away from the crowd and pray. He knew what he needed to continue his ministry. What do you need? What is it that refreshes you?  How can you make time to refill your cup? 

Mark 1:35

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

God bless,
