Religious Education Curriculum

In Religious Education this term we are learning about making choices through the teachings of gospel stories. We have looked at the Good Samaritan and how we can be good neighbours like Jesus taught us. So how can Kinder be like Good Samaritans, neighbours and friends?

Sacramental Programs

Thank you to our families who have just taken part in the parish’s Reconciliation preparation program. Sending your child to a Catholic school means you are committing to supporting their prayer life and their faith development. This needs to be modelled in the home first and foremost. Sacraments are an integral part of a person’s faith journey and require multiple opportunities to learn about as well as experience. They are exciting and challenging moments in our lives and are best nurtured in the parish and family context. We are so blessed to be supported in this by Fr Loi and Sue Collins in her new role as Sacramental Coordinator for Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. We would love to hear from you regarding your experiences with the program this year. Whilst COVID19 presented us with some interesting challenges it has also allowed us to explore other possibilities in how we prepare and celebrate the sacraments and we’d love to hear your feedback on these.
