Confirmation
Our Information Evening for Confirmation is this Thursday, 25th July, in St Monica’s School Library. The meeting will begin at 6:00pm and is anticipated to conclude by 7:00pm. This Information Evening is for parents of students wishing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation this year. Our parish has been allocated the 10th and 11th of September for this special sacrament. A reminder that children wishing to receive this sacrament will need to attend a parish Mass on either Saturday 27th or Sunday 28th July to make their commitments. At least one adult will need to attend this Mass with each child.
NAIDOC Whole School Prayer Time
This Friday, 26th July, Year 6 will lead the Whole School Prayer Time. The theme for prayer will be NAIDOC. We invite all families and friends to join the whole school community for prayer from 2:25pm in the St Michael’s Church.
Growing with the Spirit
At St Michael’s this year we continue to reflect on how we are growing with the Spirit. This term our Student Leaders will take charge of leading the whole school in Peer Support. This is a wonderful example of how we encourage students to take ownership of their own learning and to help themselves, and others, as learners. This term is a good opportunity for all students to reflect on their learning and what steps they can take to be more responsible for achieving their own learning goals.
In Staff prayer this week we have been reflecting on NAIDOC Week celebrations. One morning we listened to the song, from little things big things grow, by Paul Kelly. It was such a beautiful link with our theme for the year “Growing with the Spirit” that I’d like to share it will you all.
What little things are you ‘planting’ that could grow into something bigger?
