CELEBRATING OUR FAITH
Project Compassion 2021:
BE MORE
Every year, countless people turn Lent into a demonstration of faith, love and generosity. We are all part of an incredible community, who believe that there are simple actions we can all take to “be more” for our world.
The theme for Project Compassion 2021 is:
BE MORE.
We are inspired by the quote from St Oscar Romero,
“Aspire not to have more,
but to be more.”
Instead of aspiring to have more, we can focus on how we can BE more. Be more kind, more green, more involved, more aware, more giving.
This Lent, let us consider how we can ‘BE MORE’ for our neighbours around the world.
“Aspire not to have more, but to be more.” Please support Project Compassion"
Fish Day on Ash Wednesday - Big Success!
Thank you to all those who ordered fish on Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent. Thanks to the canteen ladies for busily preparing all the orders and their donation to Project Compassion. The Lent menu option on FlexiSchools will still be there to order from for the remainder of the term.
Christian Living Days
In week 7, students in Years 7 and 10 will be involved in a Christian Living Day on 8 and 9 March. Year 10 will attend the retreat day on Monday and Year 7 on Tuesday. Both days are at school.
The Christian Living Days are facilitated by the Lasallian Youth Ministry team. Lasallian Youth Ministry offers opportunities for young people to discover the fullness of life through innovative experiences of faith, service and community. It aims at empowering young people to use their gifts in the service of others. These Christian Living Days are an important part of our school mission and towards the care of the spiritual welfare of each student.
Students attending these days are able to wear plain clothes and order a chicken and chips lunch for $6 on the morning of the retreat day. A note will be sent home to families with students in Year 7 and 10 soon.
