Religious Education
'Religious Education enables learners to encounter God in their lives and to articulate what this means, in an environment that welcomes multicultural and multi-faith world views.'
ADVENT SEASON 2023
As we approach the Advent season the students will be beginning their Advent preparation in the classrooms. This year our theme for Advent is - Hope, Peace, Joy, Love. We will be learning about advent and celebrating an advent liturgy each week starting in week 8. Our focus in the classroom and during the liturgy is on both the theme of the week and on the true meaning of Christmas for us as children of God: We are waiting for the birth of Jesus.
Advent Liturgies start in week 8 and will replace Friday Assembly @ 2:40pm.
2nd Week : Friday Dec 1st- Prep - PEACE
3rd Week : Friday Dec 8th- Year 3/4 - JOY
4th Week : Friday Dec 15th- Year 6 - LOVE (Last day of term, Mass at 12pm)
Part of our Advent preparation includes a focus on Social Justice. We will be asking the students to think about other children in our community and people who may not be as fortunate as they are.
This year for Christmas we will be supporting the Peninsula Toy Run. The Peninsula Toy Run has been benefiting the families in our local community since 2001. We will be collecting new unwrapped toys, canned or packaged non perishable foods to donate. The Toy Run is held on the first Saturday in December when motorcyclists gather at the Frankston Pier and ride down the Peninsula finishing at Rosebud Secondary College. All proceeds of the Toy Run go to Southern Peninsula Food For All. Southern Peninsula Food For All is a non-profit organisation that assists the people of our local area.
LAST DAY TO DONATE IS FRIDAY 1st DECEMBER - TOMORROW!!
