Easter Season
Last Sunday, the Gospel reading talked about Jesus as the Good Shepherd. The shepherd is always there to protect and care for the sheep, just as Jesus is for us.
This Sunday, the Gospel reading likens Jesus to being a vine and God the Father is the vine keeper. The message is that if we follow Jesus, we will bear much fruit or be positive people in our thoughts and actions.
ANZAC Day
The students listened to stories and watched videos to deepen their understanding of ANZAC Day. This week the daily Meditation prayers were based on the soldiers, medical staff and the need for peace in our world.
ANZAC Day is a special day for us to remember those who have served their country to protect others.
The Year 5/6 students composed poems to share their understanding of ANZAC Day...
