Religious Education Curriculum
Our School Theme
This year our theme will be unpacked across the four terms.
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know
Be still
Be
In term 1 we will explore the theme of ‘Be still and live in Harmony’. This is linked to our mission statement and explores the over arching concept of Harmony. We will explore the scripture Romans 12:6 and our symbol will be the rainbow. Each class will be introducing Christian meditation during morning prayer routines.
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. Next week information will be provided about the big ideas for the term.
Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community
Opening Mass
This Thursday, 4th February, our school will hold an Opening Mass to reflect on our school community coming together to celebrate a new year. Due to COVID19 restrictions we are still unable to celebrate this special occasion with our parents but know that you will be in our hearts and prayers especially at this time.
Eucharist
How are you going with working through the Eucharist preparation book? Remember to set aside some time each week to sit with your Eucharist candidate and work through the activities in the preparation book. This is possibly the most special part of the preparation – spending time together reflecting on the importance of your faith in your everyday life.
Parent / Child Formation Evening
Our Parent/Child Formation Evening for Eucharist will be on Thursday 11th February from 6:00pm. It will be held via Zoom. The link for this is https://cgcatholic.zoom.us/j/98091975011
Please remember all candidates and a parent must be present for this special part of the preparation for Eucharist.
The Eucharist retreat day will be held on Friday 19th February. Lunch will be provided and students are able to wear a free choice of clothes. There is no cost for the day and additional information will follow.
