Religious Education in the School

We have both had a wonderful week in the role of REC and are looking forward to the weeks ahead.

This coming term staff are reviewing our Curriculum and ensuring that our Religious Education programs and lessons demonstrate High Impact Teaching Practices in line with our ongoing journey with Catalyst. We are also working to align our scope and sequence with new units being developed by staff. 

Religious Life of the School

Sunday’s Gospel

Jesus' attentiveness to food and mealtimes raises the possibility that our meal gatherings can be sacred times. In families, the domestic church, our meals together are everyday opportunities to gather and recall Jesus' presence with us. As in the Eucharist, we bring the gifts that God has given us, which have been prepared especially for our Mass, and at our family meals we share gifts that God has given to us and that we have worked together to prepare. This includes the food on the table and also the people who gather around the table. We ask God to bless these gifts and to be present among us in all of our interactions.

Project Compassion

A huge thank you to everyone who raised money for Caritas through donations in the Project Compassion boxes. For anyone who has not returned these yet could you please do so promptly so we can finalise payment to Caritas. All moneys are to be returned to the Front Office or directly to the church on weekends. 

Mother’s Day

This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day. To celebrate we will gather in the Church on Friday morning at 8:50 for Whole School Prayer. 3/4 will lead us in our celebration. All are welcome.

First Communion

A reminder that all candidates and their families need to be at one of the Parish Masses this weekend (if you did not attend last weekend) to make their commitment to prepare for First Communion. Please bring your commitment cards with you. Preparation booklets are being sent home as registration information is provided from the Parish Office. Please contact Sue Collins at the Parish Office if you have any questions about First Communion.
