Religious Education

RE in 3/4

In Years 3 & 4 students are learning about God’s Creation and our important role as Stewards of Creation. As they explore the key message from Genesis – that what God created was and still is essentially good – they have been joined in class by a very special visitor, Sticky. Can you find him in the photo?

What role do you play in caring for God’s Creation? What things can we improve on with our regard for our planet and all the creatures, including people, that God created?

Religious Life of St Michael’s

Feast of St Mary MacKillop of the Cross

Thank you to Kindergarten for your prayerful leadership of our Whole School Prayer Time on Monday. It was a beautiful way to share the Feast Day of St Mary MacKillop of the Cross. Special thanks to Miss De Mattia and Miss Kapantais for their work in preparing the digital presentation for the whole school.

Feast of the Assumption of Mary

In August is always seems to be one Mary or another! This coming Monday, 15^th August, is the Feast Day of the Assumption. As Catholics we celebrate Mary’s Assumption, body and soul, by Jesus to Heaven. This differs from Jesus’ Ascension in a key detail. Jesus Ascended to Heaven himself, as he is one with God. Jesus assumed Mary into Heaven as he did not want to see the body of his mother, one which bore the Son of God, decay as all bodies do after death.

Staff and students in 3/4 are already very busy preparing to lead the St Michael’s School community in prayer next Monday morning. Again this will be delivered digitally to accommodate current COVIDSAFE practices.
