Kinder/Year 1 & 2

This term, our K/1/2 students are exploring our Religion unit, "Mission - Loving God and loving others like Jesus." Through this unit, children are discovering that mission and love go hand in hand, learning how everyday acts of kindness reflect the way Jesus loved others. The Good News is proclaimed most powerfully in selfless acts of love. 

To help bring this message to life, students have been exploring the stories of 'Jesus and the Blind Beggar' (Luke 18:35–43), Jesus cures a leper (Luke 5: 12-16)  and 'Jesus and Zacchaeus' (Luke 19:1–10). They have also watched inspirational videos about Catholic missionaries, seeing firsthand how selfless acts of care proclaim the Good News across the globe.

In the lead-up to Christmas, the children are thinking about practical ways they can participate in Jesus' mission by sharing love and joy with their classmates, school, families, and broader community.

As an important part of our approach to our lessons, we have a range of choice possibilities to reflect on and work with.
