A blank piece of paper is never a good start to a reflection in the newsletter!  My mind is racing. Full and busy with many different things, school, Christmas, Year 10 camp, Year 2 Reconciliation meetings.  It is all happening.  But my heart is full.

I love reflecting on children’s learning.  I love the thought of starting the Sacramental journey with my youngest child.  I love watching new Kindergarten students arrive and wondering what their part of the St John’s story will be. These are all things I treasure for I know they are so intensely important to the story of life.

Matthew 6:21 (NRSVCE)

²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

May you find in your daily story, your treasure and your heart.

God bless,

Stephanie Stewart (Religious Education Coordinator)
