Catholic Calendar

 As a Church family, we have a Catholic Liturgical Calendar of events and seasons. The Church year begins with Advent. Easter is the high point and the year ends with the feast of Christ the King. This week marked the end of the Easter season, and we move into Ordinary Time. The name Ordinary Time comes from the Latin word ordinalis  which refers to the order and ongoing nature of the season. The liturgical colour assigned to Ordinary Time is green; a colour associated with growth, hope and new life. During this season, Gospel readings around the life and teachings of Christ are read during liturgies which assist our understanding of how to be followers of Jesus.

 Whole School Focus – Exploring

We are continuing to break open our term focus of ‘Harmony in my School’.  So far this term we have explored the theme of change and the values of courage and gratitude. Over the next 2 weeks we are looking at one of St Michael’s keys for learning;  exploring.  Exploring is at the heart of what we do each and every day at school. Students are encouraged to ask questions and to analyze what they’ve learnt. Harmony Awards will celebrate students who display curiosity and have a desire to explore their wonderings.
