Religious Education Curriculum

In 3/4 students are beginning to make connections between personal experiences of initiation (such as a new class, new school, new team) and the experience of believers becoming members of the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation). Now would be a great time to revisit family photos of Baptisms or share stories about moving house or school or starting new sporting teams or community groups. Children love hearing stories about themselves and their past, especially from when they were little and can’t really remember what happened. Perhaps pull out the Christening gown and talk about its history?

As this unit of work unfolds children will be able to identify words, actions and symbols used in the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation that communicate God's presence and action (e.g. laying on of hands, sealing with oil, sign of peace, renewal of Baptismal promises, presence of the sponsor, discipleship, Holy Spirit).

Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community

ANZAC Liturgy

Thank you to 3/4Y for their prayerful leadership of our ANZAC liturgy last Friday. Special thanks to the families who joined us for this special commemoration.

Prayer Bags

Throughout the school there are multiple prayer bags still going home for helping with family prayer time. These prayer bags contain some laminated prayers, a holding cross and a small prayer journal. Families are invited to use the cross to support your family prayer time and to record your own or your favourite prayer in the prayer journal.

Check in with your child to see if they could bring it home soon to enjoy a special prayer moment in the home.

First Eucharist

A reminder that students in Year 4 who have already received the Sacrament of Reconciliation last year are invited to prepare with the parish program this term. The parent information evening is held via zoom this Thursday 29th April from 6:00pm. Families will be asked to attend one of the parish masses the following weekend (1-2 May) for their official commitment. More information is below in the Parish section or on the invitation letter sent home last term.
