Catholic Identity - Louise Frewen

Prayer for 'Solidarity'

Loving God,

Help us to stand together as one community, recognising that we all belong to one another.

Teach us to notice those who may be feeling lonely, excluded or in need of support and give us the courage to reach out with kindness and compassion.

May we celebrate our differences, listen with open hearts and work together for the good of all.

Guide us to build a school where everyone feels welcomed, valued and respected, and where we live out your call to love our neighbour each day.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Our current focus is the Catholic Social Teaching Principle “Solidarity” – recognising that we are all connected and responsible for one another. This encourages students to stand together, look out for others, include everyone and support those who may be struggling, knowing that when one person in our community is hurting, we all have a responsibility to care.

Aboriginal Education - Rachel Timperley

Welcome to 2026 and a new addition to our newsletter. Here is a space to learn about and nurture the very spirit of this land. Our Aboriginal identity.

Aboriginal Spirituality

Aboriginal Spirituality is a source of lore and a way that Aboriginal people communicate their world views. It reflects the ideology that the ancestors returned to the earth which created our sacred and spiritual beliefs.

Genesis 1:26

Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness."

As Catholic educators, the identity and success of Catholic education is linked inseparably to the witness of faith given by the community who truly live their faith. Recognising and acknowledging the rich cultural expertise of Aboriginal spirituality will enrich our experience of the catholic faith.
