St Patrick’s Day Student Mass
On Friday 20th March our St Kevin's students leaders joined student leaders from St Gregory the Great school to attend the St Patrick’s Day Mass for students.
Over 300 Catholic schools were represented at the mass.
Our St Kevin’s flag bearers proudly processed through St Patrick’s Cathedral at the beginning of mass. Our leaders holding our banner high.
After mass we were fortunate to meet Archbishop Comensoli and take advantage of a photo opportunity.
Following the celebration of mass all students were invited to Treasury Gardens for a concert and activities.
The day was an amazing experience for our student leaders who enjoyed the opportunity to witness the grandeur of the Cathedral and a truly special mass.
Easter Reenactment
An enormous thank you to all parents, Carers and visitors who attended our Easter Reenactment in the last week of Term One and the first week of Term Two.
Reenacting Holy Week at school brings the final days of Jesus’ life to life, fostering deep reflection on faith, sacrifice, and hope. These student-led reenactments help our school community pause to understand the significance of Easter with compassion and humility.
I congratulate our students on their reverence and commitment to their faith journey.
PROJECT COMPASSION BOXES
Thank you for your generous support with Project Compassion
We now need all Project Compassion Boxes to be returned to school by Friday 1 May.
Please return the Project Compassion Boxes to your child’s classroom or to the School Office.
Sacrament of Confirmation
During Term Two our Year six students will be focussing on Confirmation.
The sacrament of Confirmation in the Catholic Church is one of the three sacraments of initiation, perfecting baptismal grace and sealing the baptized with the gift of the Holy Spirit. It acts as a "mature Christian commitment," strengthening the individual to live as a witness to Christ and strengthening their bond with the Church.
We look forward to sharing in this celebration with our Year Six candidates on Sunday 24 May.
Q & A Sessions with Father Charles
Throughout term Two each class will have the opportunity to meet with Father Charles in the Church for a Q & A session.
This is a time when students can ask Father Charles faith related questions they may have been wondering about .
Sometimes children ask very interesting and challenging questions at home. Sometimes as parents we are unable to give them the answers they need.
Q & A is a wonderful exchange between our students and Father Charles as they share knowledge and thoughts in an informal way.
The Q & A sessions are scheduled during the school day and are for students and teachers only to attend.
