Year Six Service Outreach

Our focus this year for Year Six has been 'acts of service'. There's an enthusiastic group of Year 6 girls that love to do crochet and craft, and are keen to vounteer in the community. You may have seen them at the fete where they sold their creations and donated to Save the Children Gaza appeal.  

They are hoping to work with eldery people or people who live with disabilities. 

If you have any suggestions of where they should go, please contact stephanie.stewart@cg.catholic.edu.au

Thank you Liliana and Magdelena.

Sacred Heart Day

The Feast of the Sacred Heart is a very important day. We love to celebrate it with faith, food and fun. We celebrated Mass with Father Chung. Staff shared a special lunch and Year 6 helped students decorate cookies.

We raised $590.00 for St George's Academy in Kenya. Thank you for all your support.

Saint of the Week by Lorenzo Scarano

In Religious Education we have been studying our chosen saint. I have been doing St Joseph of Cupertino. I will list some of the information I have researched and a picture. 

St Joseph is the saint of the city of Cupertino, the city of Osimo, aviation, pilots, astronauts, intellectual disbilities, examinations, and students. He was born on the 17th of June 1603 in Cupertino Italy and died on the 16th of September Osimo Italy, his feast day is on the 18th of September. 

A special thing about St Joseph was he had the power to levitate when he prayed but this humbled him. He has also helped the poor, made the blind see and lifted up sick children to be healed. I chose St Joseph of Cupertino because he is the patron saint of astronauts and aviators and I love science, technology and space.

Catholic Life and Reflection

One of my students brought in a bible that is more than 100 years old to show me. I loved this for many reasons. I do love the smell of an old book!  Mostly it touched my heart because he knew that I would appreciate it. We looked up some scripture we knew to make sure it was there... John 1:1...luckily it was.  

The Word Became Flesh (John 1:1)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

I was reminded that the word of God doesn't change, it changes us. We may shift our understanding as we experience different life events but the words remain.

What scripture speaks to you? What scripture do you come back to often?

God bless,

Stephanie Stewart, Religious Education Coordinator
