Pentecost Sunday 31st May
The Feast of Pentecost was on the 31st May. It's meaning and symbolism are two-fold: the Holy Spirit came down upon the people and bestowed upon them the 7 gifts to which they would share with others; and it was also the birth of the Christian Church.
Trinity Sunday 7th June
This is the Sunday after Pentecost where we honour the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Trinity is often described as a holy mystery beyond complete human understanding - the essence of God expressing himself in three persons.
Religion around Our School
Kindergarten
Kindergarten explained to me all the objects that are on their prayer space. They said "that there is a cross, Bible, candle and special material".
Stage 2
In Stage 2 the children have been learning about Pentecost. They created these Pentecost posters during Creative Arts.

Core Principles and Values
Love of God and Neighbors
All people are called to love God and love of neighbour for Christians that is expressed in the words of Jesus. "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all you soul and mind. You must love your neighbours as yourself".
Our love of God is expressed through prayer and worship. Man has a noble task: That of prayer and love.... Prayer is nothing else then a union with God.
This principle is the very heart of what we do in Catholic schools. It is what motivates and drives good Catholic action and understanding of the world.
