What staff are learning about

This week at staff prayer we focused on family. It is Family Week so we were encouraged by Ms Collins and Mr Doepel to spend time at with family. On Monday they shared this prayer with us.  It was a great reminder of how children view family.

What students are learning about

Last Sunday was the Feast of Pentecost.  It was a windy and cold day which I felt was appropriate for the scripture from Acts 2. On Tuesday Kindergarten spent time with their buddies learning about the Pentecost story. They put the scripture in order and made flame headbands. All students participated in different activities this week to celebrate the birthday of the church.

Catholic Life and Reflection

Last night Year 6 students celebrated their Confirmation. There is a part of the rite of Confirmation where Father Kimi walks to each child and holds his hands over their heads and prays for them. It is very powerful to watch. A great sense of peace falls over the congregation when this happens. Last night I was able to close my eyes, still my mind and be fully present. It was a grace filled moment.

It is privilege to be able to be involved in the faith journey of our families. We are so blessed to have a parish community that fully supports us as we grow our young people.

God bless,
