Religious Education Curriculum

St Michael’s Primary aims to educate our students about sacraments in a curriculum framework that is sequential and age appropriate, provides sound teaching and learning experiences that meets the needs of individual learners and is in keeping with archdiocesan policy.

The focus for our school is not merely to provide a formal education in faith but to nurture our students in an environment that leads them to develop their personal relationship with God.

This term the students will be learners who inquire and discover. The following big ideas will be explored across K-6.

K - Jesus was a Jew who came from a Jewish family

1/2 - How do we show respect for self, others and creation?'

3/4 - Who do you say Jesus is?

5/6 - Justice creates harmony in our world

Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community

Grandparents’ Day Whole School Prayer Timegrandparents2.jpg

This Thursday, 15th October, our school will hold a WSPT to reflect on the wonderful gift of Grandparents and older people in our lives. 3/4 staff and students have been busy organising this celebration for us. Due to COVID19 restrictions we are still unable to celebrate this special occasion with our Grandparents but know that you will be in our hearts and prayers especially at this time.

Catholic Mission

October is Mission Month in the Catholic Church and as such we turn our thoughts to the missionary work being done here in Australia as well as overseas, helping those in poverty. Catholic Mission works in countries all around the world helping with food, education, health services and evangelisation. Learn more about their wonderful work here: https://www.catholicmission.org.au/

WSPT & Socktobersocktober.png

This Friday, 16th October, we will hold a Whole School Prayer Time for Mission Month. Students in 1/2 are busy preparing for this special celebration. Children are also invited to take part in our annual Socktober campaign. For a gold coin donation students can wear socks as creatively as they like. Have you tried making a crown out of socks? What about a scarf? Money raised will be donated to Catholic Mission to support their on-going charitable works around the world.

Confirmation

How are you going with working through the Confirmation preparation book? Weeks 1-3 have looked at our Baptismal promises, keeping promises and our hands and oil. Remember to set aside some time each week to sit with your Confirmation candidate and work through the activities in the preparation book. This is possibly the most special part of the preparation for Confirmation – spending time together reflecting on the importance of your faith in your everyday life.

Parent / Child Formation Evening

Our Parent/Child Formation Evening for Confirmation will be on Thursday 29th October from 6:00pm. It will be held via Zoom. The link for this is: https://cgcatholic.zoom.us/j/94273514916

Please remember all candidates and a parent/sponsor must be present for this special part of the preparation for Confirmation. Resources to support you for this session will be sent home on Thursday 29th October.
