Religious Education and Social Justice

Our school days begin for the children with prayer as part of the Learning Community Welcome led by the class teachers. The children are encouraged to share special intentions for others.

We encourage families to set up a prayer space in your home which might include:

a crucifix, candle (only to be lit with adult supervision!), some flowers and maybe a holy picture, statue, rosary beads or other faith symbols you have. A crucifix can be simply made with small branches/twigs from a tree.

The power of prayer is truly amazing and we can all take the time to pray for those who are suffering in many ways around the world.
