What Students are Learning About

2B and 2M had a visit from Father Cheung. The students enjoyed the chat with Father. They had created some questions to ask him: Who created God? How did He create everything? How was love created? 

Father explained that God loved us so much that God created us in God's image and created this beautiful earth for us to enjoy and take care of as stewards. We have God in us and therefore we must be careful of our words and actions as we learn to care for and be respectful of each other. 

We hope Father Cheung comes back again soon!

What Staff are Learning About

We pride ourselves on having a school that is known throughout the Archdiocese for being inclusive. This week staff spent time completing modules for NCCD (Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability https://www.nccd.edu.au/. These modules are about how to best support all students to complete fully access and participate in school, including at specific needs at events, during the enrolment process and throughout their school day. Each time we participate in these units I am reminded of our mission “to be on earth the heart of God” and how lucky we are that being inclusive is at our very core.

Catholic Life and Reflection

In staff prayer this week we have reflected on the Parable of the Mustard Seed.  There are two main references to the mustard seed in scripture. One in Matthew, the other in Mark.

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” Mark 4:30-32

On Thursday we read the following reflection together: 'Even when our own faith is as small as a mustard seed; combined with the faith of others, we can build God’s kingdom.' 

When your own faith is a little shaky or feels small, by walking together, we are strong enough to move mountains.

God bless,
