Peace and Justice

Dear families,

Peace and justice are the focus for our prayer and religion units this term. As a school community, we pray for all who dwell in the land of Jesus’ birth, whether Palestinian or Israeli, that the deadly violence engulfing them will be short-lived and an effective ceasefire agreed to.'

We continue to pray for peace in Ukraine; and for all those caught up in other conflicts throughout the world, we pray that each side recognise the human dignity and worth of the other, and work for a just solution.

Here in Australia, as the Referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament nears we pray people will prepare carefully and conscientiously and vote for what they truly believe is just and best.

LET'S KICK GOALS FOR GOOD!

We are excited to announce that our school is once again participating in Socktober, an inspiring initiative of Catholic Mission. Socktober is a meaningful way for our students to engage with social justice and the very important work of global mission through the world game of soccer. Amid the excitement of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, what better time than now to get involved?

Sign up your child here and invite families and relatives to donate online:

SOCKTOBER EVENT DAY - Friday 27th of October 2023 at 2:40 pm

The fundraiser will be concluded at the end of the month with a Catholic Mission Day where we will have guest speakers, the Year 6 Mini Fete and other activities to raise awareness about Catholic Mission around the world.

This will help in supporting better health and education outcomes for children like Josein Timor-Leste. Children are to wear their school sports uniform and their favourite coloured socks.

We would love parents/carers to join us!

Why Socktober? Let's hear it from our Year 6 students!
