Year 6 Retreat Day

Last Thursday the Year 6 students participated in a Retreat Day with St Monica’s students and Confirmation candidates from the School of Religion. The day was planned to come together as a Parish community and learn more about the Holy Spirit.  The morning’s activities were about getting to know each other and having fun. In the afternoon the students were given time to reflect on their spiritual gifts and how they will use them in their lives. We were also joined by Fr Mick and Archbishop Christopher Prowse who spoke to the students about Jesus’ great love for each of them and the invitation to follow Jesus’ example, living a life of love and service. The day concluded with the students presenting their artworks with their spiritual gifts. Thank you to the Year 6 cohort for the way they participated with enthusiasm and reverence and to our Year 6 teachers, Ms Shianne Sahariv and Mrs Danielle Madsen for their support of the day. 

St Michael’s Feast Day

The Feast Day of St Michael is the 29th of September and we will celebrate with a whole school liturgy on the last day of term, Friday the 27th of September.  All families are most welcome to join us for the liturgy at 9:15am in the church. Following the liturgy, students will be participating in activities to enrich their understanding of St Michael our Archangel who protects us.  In lieu of wearing their uniform, the students are asked to bring in donations to assist with our Christmas Raffles. Donations are as follows:

Kindergarten - Gardening items e.g. gloves

Year One/Two - Pampering products e.g bath bombs

Year Three/Four - Art and Craft items for kids e.g. coloured pencils

Year Five/Six - Sporting items for kids e.g. hand balls

Thank you in advance for your generous donations.
