Social Justice Writing Competition

The Year 6 Social Justice Leaders will be announcing the winners of the Social Justice Writing Competition at this week's assembly. The leaders have been blown away by the quality of the writing and are faced with a difficult decision in choosing the 4 winners.

We will look at publishing the winning entries in the first newsletter for Term 4. 

Well done to Elise, Kianni and Nina for all their hard work.

Gospel Reading

Luke 16:1-13 (shorter form, Luke 16:10-13)

Jesus tells a parable about a dishonest steward who is commended for his prudence; one cannot serve both God and money.

Family Connection

Talk with your children about some things that they have done to show that they can be trusted. Talk a bit about what it means to be responsible. Responsibility often means that we put aside something of passing value for something of greater value.

Read together the short form of today's Gospel, Luke 16:10-13. Talk about the importance of responsible use of money and our material possessions. As a family, commit to one action that you will take this week to show that your family serves God and not money.
