Second Sunday of Advent 

This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent 

What can you do this week in the Second week of Advent? 

• Is there something that keeps you from feeling at peace? Talk to a trusted family member, friend, teacher, or school wellbeing leader about the things that are worrying you. 
• Commit to one way you will bring peace to your relationship with the Earth. For example, think about Christmas gifts and decorations in a more sustainable way.
• With feelings of busyness that often come as Christmas gets closer, it can be easy to forget about Advent. Many people find calm and peace in nature. Commit to spending time reflecting or meditating in nature each day in the lead-up to Christmas. 
• Be an agent of peace and help others in your school or local community enjoy the spirit of Christmas this year. For example, invite someone you wouldn’t normally spend time with to morning tea, lunch, or another Christmas event. 

Week 2 Advent Prayer 🙏 

God of Peace, Peaceful God, 

As we wait Advent, we watch for your way of peace: a way of deep breath, 

where worried minds are settled and tired bodies find rest. 

God, help us share your peace. 

Amen 

This is the last newsletter from me so I would like to thank our College community all for your support in my new role this year.  

I would like to particularly publicly thank my RE Leaders Cate Kavanagh and Scott Blencowe.  They have done a wonderful job in their role and assisted me greatly.  

I would also like to acknowledge the work of the RE Teachers this year.  

Your dedication and commitment have been inspiring.  Thank you for helping guide our students spiritually and emotionally. 

May you all have a wonderful and blessed break with your family and friends. 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
