3/4 students reflections on their learning

In Religion the 3/4s have been learning about the Last Supper and the Passover. The Passover and the Last Supper are a very important part of Religion. The 3/4s learnt that the Passover is when Jews killed a male lamb and put the lamb blood on their door poles in the afternoon so that the angel of death does not come and kill them. The 3/4s also learnt that the Last Supper was the time when Jesus died. I hope you are happy with what your child/children have learnt.  By Macy

5/6 student reflections on their learning.

This term in RE we have been learning about the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Some of these topics include wonder and awe which is when you think about what you are doing and question yourself.  Is this correct? Have I done my best to succeed? Is this my best work?

Knowledge:is the power of the brain. Knowledge makes sure that when we learn something we keep it in our brains so we can use the power that we have learnt and make knowledge makes us able to understand which is the next bit.

Understanding: understanding is a key learning experience. Understanding helps us to know what we are doing which can be helpful in your everyday life from cutting an apple to learning at school, high school, college or university and if you are old enough work. I know it will take me at least a few years to start working let alone go to college.

Wisdom: wisdom is knowing the Lord. Knowing the lord can be explained if a few ways, knowing the Lord is a very important catholic skill that everyone would know knowing the lord is like you know what he was, what he did, who he was.

Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community

SleepOut@Home

Thursday 18 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 raise money and donate Winter Woolies, 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’. Our SleepOut@Home package of activities, will be uploaded 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 also a button on Qkr! for charity donations which we will send 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 became involved in this important initiative – there will be a post on our Facebook page on the evening where you can comment by including a photo from your SleepOut@Home.

Mini Vinnies’ Winter Woolies PJ Day

Friday the 19June, following the SleepOut@Home, all students are invited to come to school in their pyjamas. Students are asked to bring in winter woolies 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.

We would also ask for families to donate via the Qkr! app under charity donations. $5 donation from every family would go a long way to give to those in need this winter. 

A donated winter item and a $5 Qkr! donation from every family would be amazing!

Feast of Corpus Christi

This coming weekend is the feast of Corpus Christi – the holy body and blood of Christ. We focus as a Church on the importance of our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It is a good time to reflect on where you see Jesus in your own life. How are you the presence of Jesus for other?

Join Father Loi in celebrating Mass live on Saturday evening at 6pm on the Our Lady of Perpetual Help – North Belconnen Facebook page. Whilst we cannot receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ at present we can come together to celebrate Eucharist, even if it is virtually.
