Religious Education

Mrs Trish Mitchell
Assistant Principal & Religious Education Coordinator

Saint Carlo, we praise God for your simple, joyful, holy life.
You wanted to be always close to Jesus, from such a young age, and followed a spiritual program of Mass, Confession, Adoration, Rosary and acts of charity to live your union with Jesus.

Intercede for us so that we too may choose Jesus, truly present in our Holy Eucharist, to be also our Highway to Heaven, and be the original God destined us to be.

Saint Carlo Acutis, pray for us that we may become saints and, like you, lead others to Christ.
Amen

St Carlo Exhibiton

We are excited to share that our school will be hosting the St Carlo Acutis Exhibition on Wednesday of Week 5. Carlo Acutis, canonised as a modern saint, is known as the patron saint of youth and technology, making his story particularly inspiring for modern students. Each class, Years 1-6, will attend a special 1 hour session to explore the exhibition, learn about Carlo’s incredible life, and reflect on how we can use our own gifts to share God’s love in today's world. We look forward to a day of rich faith discovery for all our students.

Sacrament of First Eucharist

A sincere thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for our First Eucharist Parent Information Evening in Week 2. It was wonderful to gather together as a parish and school community to support our young people on this step in their faith journey. Please keep our candidates in your prayers as they prepare to receive their sacrament this September. May God grant them open hearts as they grow closer to Him over the coming weeks.

Stage 3 Family Mass

A heartfelt thank you to all the students and families who joined us to celebrate our Family Mass yesterday! It was a truly wonderful turnout, and what a special way to start our Sunday together as a faith community. An extra special mention goes to our Stage 3 students and staff, who did a fantastic job assisting throughout the liturgy—your leadership, reverence, and willing hearts were an absolute credit to our school. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a uplifting morning.

St Carlo Acutis Competition

Students may like to enter our St Carlo Acutis Competition in the 2 weeks leading up the exhibition visit. They are asked to design a unique page for him using drawings, text and their imagination! Think about his interests, miracles and connection to technology. Entries are available from school and due back on Friday, 21st August.

Father's Day Liturgy

Please send in a photo of your child with their dad, grandfather or special male-figure in their life for our Father's Day Liturgy photo presentation which will be held in our school hall on Friday, 4th September at 9:00am.
