Religious Education Curriculum

RE_T2_W6a.jpg

Years One and Two are enjoying learning about the role choices play in our lives and the impact good and bad choices make on ourselves and others. They have explored the story of Moses and the choices he made to listen to God, even when it was difficult. If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to watch the Disney production of the story of Moses (Prince of Egypt) as it provides a child-friendly interpretation of this great story from Scripture.

St Vincent de Paul Winter Woolies Day and Stay Out

Friday 18th June will be our annual St Vincent de Paul Winter Woolies Day and Stay Out event. On Friday 18th June all children are invited to wear their own choice of warm clothing to school and bring donations of warm winter woollies for donating to St Vincent de Paul. St VdP are in high need of blankets, warm coats, gloves and socks for use by the homeless and those in need in Canberra’s community. You are also invited to send in donations of toiletries items for creating dignity packs for the homeless. Suggestions for these packs are soap/body wash, toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner and hand-cream.

From 4pm students are invited back to school to participate in the Stay Out. They will enjoy a visit from the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol Van and activities run by the St Vincent de Paul Ministry, including a ‘homelessness’ experience outside in the dark. Children will have a soup and bread roll dinner like from the soup kitchens run for the homeless and help put together the dignity packs using donated toiletries items. A letter outlining more details and with a permission note will go out this coming week.

Youth Mass

A reminder that the second last Sunday of each month is the Youth Mass in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. This is celebrated at the 5:30pm Mass at St Michael’s each month. Following Mass there are games and food for the young people. The next Youth Mass will be on Sunday 20th June.
