What Students are Learning About

Year 6

Year 6 participated in the Journey with Jesus retreat on Thursday. They were led by an enthusiastic group of youth workers from the Archdiocese.

Some students will elect to become part of our youth ministry team and run short retreat sessions for the younger students. I am looking forward to working with the children who feel called to share their faith.

Year 3

Year 3 have been hard at work preparing for their first Reconcilation.  Please keep them in your prayers. FAther Chung came for a visit to talk to the children about the importance of forgiveness.

Year 2

Year 2 have been talking about the importance of kindness and compassion for Harmony Day.  Keldon in 2M drew a beautiful representation of the people in the school who are kind to him.  He was so proud to show his work and so happy to share the love he feels.  Thank you, Keldon, you made my day!

Catholic Life and Reflection

This week is Harmony Week when we as a country celebrate that “Everyone Belongs”. 

Paul’s Letter to the Colossians 3:12-15 says…

12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord[a] has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

Isn’t that a beautiful image to be “clothed with compassion and kindness”.  Who are the people in your life you wrap in kindness?  Who are the people in your life who are on the heart of god for you?

Maybe let them know. ?
