The Year 3/4 classes are organising the Career's Day on Friday 22 March. Everyone is encouraged to dress up as their occupation of choice for the future. Students will discuss the importance of education and share with their classmates what occupation they chose and why.  

The purpose of these FUNdraising events is to raise money for Project Compassion, which Caritas Australia uses to support communities in need. 

 

This week the students focused on John's Gospel story of Jesus sharing the parable of the grain of wheat, linking it to the single grain producing a rich harvest. Ask them to share their understandings of this Gospel reading and the information they are learning about Project Compassion and Caritas Australia. 

HOLY WEEK PRAYER LITURGIES 

Holy Week commences this weekend. Holy Week is one of the most important and holiest weeks in the Catholic Church year. It consists of Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. It is a week of prayer and reflection to prepare us for the joyous event of Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus.  

Each class is participating in prayer liturgies to recognise Palm Sunday and Holy Thursday. 

On Thursday 28 March at 9.10 am the whole school will gather in the Hub to reflect on the Stations of the Cross, the events of Good Friday. Families and friends are invited to attend and reflect upon the Stations of the Cross with the students and staff.
