Making Jesus Real
"I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
"Matthew 25: 31-40
At St. Brendan’s Primary School the students are encouraged to live like Jesus by Making Jesus Real in their daily interactions. Throughout the year we invite our families to reinforce each set of social skills that are the focus for each fortnight. These social skills link with the Making Jesus Real (MJR) program in our school.
For the coming fortnight we encourage our students to be WELCOMING. This is the first word that comes from our WEST acronym and is displayed proudly on our Making Jesus Real Mural.
Welcome
Encourage
Sorry
Thank you
We are welcoming our new Foundation and any other new students who have joined other classes throughout our school. We are working towards all students in our school feeling WELCOMED and INCLUDED. Some words of welcome we can use:
Hello, What’s your name?
Would you like to play?
Come and Join in?
Would you like to work with me?
Welcoming others by using their NAME. It would also be nice to encourage our students to use peoples name.
1.Teacher’s name
2 Student’s name
3. Parent’s name
4. Greeting others in the morning
Beginning this Friday, students who have been selected for an MJR certificate for being Welcoming to others, will be awarded their MJR Award at our Assembly. Students who receive an MJR Award will have their photo taken and this will be acknowledged in the next fortnight’s newsletter.
