Religious Education Update

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION 

Congratulations to all the students who completed their First Holy Communion last Sunday. It was a special occasion for all. Thank you to Father Allan, Father Anderson, Miss Siapkas for helping to prepare the students.

 

The late Pope Francis said that 

“The Eucharist is such a great gift. 

It saves us, forgives us and makes us one with God”. 

 

 

 

 

MISSION DAY SUCCESS

What a wonderful day we had at our annual St Aidan’s Mission Day! There were exciting games, delicious foods, and bountiful trash and treasure.

 

Thank you to every St Aidan’s family who donated food, treats and trash and treasure! Every stall was successful and every child had a wonderful afternoon. We have raised over $2500! This is a huge amount for a small school and it will make a big difference to the lives of many Australians facing hardship. All money raised will be donated to the Charitable Works Fund.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN YEAR 2

Year 2 have been diving story of the Good Samaritan in wonderfully creative ways! Through hands-on activities like building scenes with Lego, crafting artworks, designing posters, and shaping characters with playdough, students have brought the parable to life. Storytelling sessions have sparked meaningful conversations about kindness, empathy, and helping others making this exploration both imaginative and deeply reflective.
