Education in Faith

Annual Children's Mission Mass

On Wednesday 23rd October, 2019 all the Year 5 and 6 students and teachers travelled by train to the city.  The students and teachers attended the Annual Children's Mission Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, East Melbourne.  Archbishop Comensoli presided with many schools participating in the Mass.  Our students and teachers were enlightened by the experience and upon reflection, the students made favourable comments about Archbishop Comensoli's Homily.  His Homily was about The Good Samaritan parable which he wove into a very present day narrative.  The students and teachers proceeded to The Gardens for lunch and play.  

Godly Play 

What is Godly Play?

Godly Play is a method of teaching Bible stories, using parables, sacred stories and liturgical lessons using simple materials such as cloth, wood, felt etc.  Godly Play helps children learn about the symbols, signs, rituals, religious language about the Catholic faith within the context of our school and classrooms.  Godly Play is a visual story-telling technique to assist in retelling, reconstructing or recounting a scripture passage, psalm or reading.  The students in Year 5 and 6 have been experiencing Godly Play in the classroom so they can produce their own Godly Play in the hope of teaching others in the school, under guidance from their teachers and the Religiour Education Leader, Mrs Toni Dent.

All Saints Day Prayer 

May all the Saints pray for us and for all those whose lives we touch

May God who loves and holds us all,

let the Spirit guide all our days in the ways of compassion and justice

May we reflect the heart of God, sure in faith, strong in hope,

built on love and become all that we are called to be

May our journey lead us into God’s gentle and almighty Presence, our God whom we will one day see face to face. Amen.

Those whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are.
