From the Religious Education Coordinator

Social Justice Sunday is observed every year on the final Sunday of August. This year’s commemoration falls on August 28. The Catholic Church in Australia has a long tradition of commemorating Social Justice Sunday. The Catholic Bishops have issued an annual Social Justice Statement practically every year since 1940.

This year the statement Respect: Confronting Violence and Abuse points out that the roots of domestic and family violence “lie in the abuse of power to control and dominate others” and that “this stands in contrast to the relationships to which God calls us”. You are invited to view the video and read the statement.

Year 11 Reflection Day

The Year 11 Reflection Day celebrated the theme Sisters in Faith Sisters for Life. 

The students explored this through the lens of the four dimensions of the Marist Compass – Courage, Gifts, Sisters and Empower. The students actively participated and made the day successful through their contribution to the activities.

Below are comments from the students to the question: I enjoyed…

• The activities. 

• The hot chocolate.

• Making a difference through making the rosary for our Marist sisters and brothers in Fiji.

• Making a doll of myself.

Thank you to the members of the Religious Education Team who prepared and facilitated the day: Ms Hopkins, Ms Colreavy, Ms Poli, Ms Pollari, Ms Vu, and Ms Bowland.
