Religious Education Curriculum
Prayer
Prayer is an important element of our faith life as an essential part of building and nurturing our relationship with God. Prayer features heavily in our Religious Education Curriculum as we know that children need to be taught how to pray and provided with multiple opportunities to explore a variety of prayers and find those which work best for themselves. Core prayers for Catholics include the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Glory Be. We pray these regularly at school and encourage your family to be familiar with these prayers as well.
Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community
Trinity Sunday
This coming Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity. The deepest and most wondrous mystery for Catholics – our understanding that God is revealed in the three persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This short clip provides an explanation of this very challenging but essential belief. https://youtu.be/1WWytW8klGcSleep Out @Home
Thursday 18th June is the CEO Sleep Out night. You are invited to join in this initiative to raise awareness of the hardships of homelessness, as well as money and Winter Woollies, to support St Vincent de Paul look after those in our own community
in need. This year we will ‘Stay Safe and Sleep Out @Home’. We will upload our Sleep Out @Home package of activities to the St Michael’s Remote Learning website just prior to the evening. The evening offers opportunities to find out about homelessness and to experience in a small way the hardships suffered by the homeless. All families are most welcome to take part from home this year. There is a button on QKR! for charity donations which we will send on to St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol to support their fabulous work in our local community. We look forward to seeing your family photos of how you become involved in this important initiative – there will be a post on our Facebook page on the evening.
Mini Vinnies’ Winter Woollies PJ Day
Friday the 19th June, following the Sleep Out @Home for many families, all students are invited to come to school in their pyjamas. Students are asked to bring in winter woollies for donating to St Vincent de Paul for this day. St Vincent de Paul tell us they are in desperate need of new warm socks, gloves, good condition pre-loved warm jumpers and jackets and warm blankets. Donations can be dropped to the Front Office to keep them in one consolidated area.
