Parish Partnership Luncheon
On Thursday 16th March, our Student Leadership Team and St Augustine's parishioners gathered in the Our Lady of Peace garden to enjoy a luncheon. While we met we got to learn a little bit about everybody, it was a great chance to interact with people we may not get to see often or even at all.
It was a wonderful opportunity to hear stories of some past St Augustine's College students too!
Father John Paul came along and enjoyed some time in the company of the rest of us and gave us the opportunity to get to know him better.
It gave us the opportunity to learn about each other's commitment to faith and the ways it can be expressed.

FIRE Carrier Update
FIRE (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education) Carriers meet every second Monday at lunchtime in the Strength and Kindliness Building, where we do fun activities that reflect the Aboriginal culture.
At our first meeting for Term 1, we talked about what activities we will be doing for the term. Our meetings have involved learning kinship words in Yorta Yorta language. We also recognised significant Aboriginal dates like National Close the Gap Day, where the students designed posters to put up around the school.
In Term 2, the students will be acknowledging National Reconciliation Week, which is from 27th May to 3rd June. On National Sorry Day, on 26th May, we will celebrate with a Mass, where our FIRE Carrier students and staff will be commissioned.
If anyone would like to be a FIRE Carrier, please see me at school or come along to our next meeting Monday.
