CELEBRATING OUR FAITH 

Year 8 RE Assessment - Kahoot!

Last week I had the opportunity and pleasure of attending Mrs Fraser's Year 8 Religious Education class. They were finishing off a unit called 'Sacraments of Initiation.' As part of a final assessment, students had to write 20 questions with multiple choice answers about the sacraments of initiation, showing what they had learnt during the unit. Students then typed up, added images and presented their questions in the online learning tool Kahoot! 

I joined in with one of the Kahoot! challenges, and thoroughly enjoyed the questions and the detail given. Congratulations Year 8! 

Year 10 Prayer Celebration

Last Friday, Fr James joined the Year 10 students in the AV Room for a prayer celebration around the theme of the four Gospels. Fr James lead the class in a guided meditation as a reflection.

Prayer for Reconciliation

God of all creation,

as we journey together in this Great Southern Land, 

we pray for healing, forgiveness and unity, creating a path of good will, 

with justice and compassion. 

Jesus, through the power of your love, 

you have given us the courage, wisdom and strength to share our gifts and talents in humility.

In peace and understanding we reconcile with each other. 

Creator Spirit,

we come together in prayer and thanksgiving for the many blessings we have received. 

Allow your Spirit to wash over us and give us strength to walk together as one.

Reconciliation Church prayer was written by a small group of Aboriginal Elders and Reconciliation Church staff members in 2014.

Have a wonderful and restful holiday,

God Bless,

Mary-Jane Guest
