Term 3, Week 5 Friday 26th August 2022

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

This week, our Year 1/2 classes celebrated their first Liturgy for the year. The children’s singing and actions filled the Church with joy and the readers and gospel processors were both confident and brave in their leadership. Special thanks to the Year 1/2 Team for all their support to help prepared the children whilst some of us were off enjoying the school camp with our Year 5 and Year 6 students.

Social Justice Focus
Thank you to our families for the generous donations of vegetables. We have received more than enough vegetables to create soups for Moore Street’s evening soup runs for homeless persons. It was wonderful to come together in a kitchen setting with small groups of our Student Leadership Representatives (SLT). Together we washed and prepared the vegetables for cooking and we spoke about how fortunate we are to be able to have the opportunity to support Adelaide’s homeless and most vulnerable. We look forward to continuing our soup making next week with more groups of SLT representatives .

Journey to Emmaus
Next week, our Year 6 students will begin their first day of the Journey to Emmaus Leadership Program. The program is designed for Year 6 and offers a shared experience with Whitefriars Catholic School and will be coordinated by myself and Josh Page. We will continue to provide updates of our school leaders engagement in the program.

ReLAT

Over the coming weeks, our Year 4 students will take part in a practice ReLAT (Religious Education Literacy Assessment Tool). As this is only a Year 4 assessment tool, further information will also be distributed to our Year 4 parents and caregivers in the lead up to the actual assessment which will be held in Week 9.
