LENTEN ACTIONS
As we are journeying through Lent the themes of prayer, fasting and almsgiving are a part of our learning and conversations here at school. Here are some Lenten Actions you can take as a family at home.
| Prep | Decide on something you could all do perhaps as a family, to help other people during Lent. |
| Year One/Two | Ask your child to share the Our Father prayer with you. Perhaps you could agree on a daily good deed during Lent. |
| Year Three/Four | Ask your child to tell you what Lent is about and perhaps to teach you the Act of Contrition (sorry prayer). |
| Year Five/Six | Give your child an opportunity to talk to you about how they are preparing for Easter. What could you do as a family to grow closer to God? Is there a time when you might like to pray together? |
Caritas Friday
As in previous years, during Lent, we will also celebrate our Caritas Fridays, beginning on March 10th. These days are an opportunity for each of our year levels to be creative with ways that we can raise money for Caritas. Caritas is the international aid and development agency of the Australian Catholic Church, and is driven by social justice and the dignity of every person. Students are invited to donate to the appeal through the Project Compassion Boxes available in their classroom.
Information for the first two Caritas Fridays events. Students can bring a gold coin if participating:
| Date | Theme |
|---|---|
| Friday 10th March | Futuristic Hair for Future Generations (Crazy Hair Day) |
| Friday 17th March | Colours for our Earth (Wearing Blue and Green) |
