Professional development at St Fidelis.

Last Tuesday, the staff of St Fidelis engaged in profesional learning in Religious Education. As a whole school we were given the opportunity to unpack the scripture “Road to Emmaus,” by responding and discussing  various questions about the text.

• What does this text tell us about the world that God desires?
• What is the text saying?
• How can we enable our children to engage with the actual text?
• What wonderings do I have about the text?

The focus was on creating various learning opportunities that develop deep thinking when engaging in scripture with our children. 

St Vinnies Winter Appeal 

The St Vinnies Winter Appeal provides food and clothing for people who are experiencing difficulty in their lives. Each year as a school community we come together to donate to this worthy cause.  This year our social justice and community leaders will engage in collecting, sorting and organising the donated goods to be distributed. Your kind donation will assist those in need. 

Celebrating Mass
