Religious Education

On Thursday 28 November, our Kindergarten and Year 1 students brought the story of the First Christmas to life. The Kindergarten students dressed up as angels, while the Year 1 students portrayed sheep. The readers, from Year 1, did an amazing job, and the actors for the nativity were from our Kindergarten classes. 

Term 4 Outreach at Del Monte

A very big ‘thank you’ to all our families who contributed non-perishable food to our Del Monte Christmas Appeal. I am sure our Donations will help support the House of Welcome at Granville, and the refugee families awaiting visa processing.

Advent

This year, the season of Advent began on Sunday 1 December. Advent begins each year with a call for us to awake from our sleep. But what does it mean to be awake?

It means we must shake off the things in our spiritual life that make us drowsy and sluggish.
It means we must turn away from sin and receive the grace that God offers us. Every day.
It means we are invited to hope and to receive the grace that God offers us to recommence.
It means to get ready for Jesus to come again.
Advent is a time of waiting and watching.

Stay awake!
Mt 24:37-44

Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. Your involvement in our Religious Education celebrations has been invaluable, and we look forward to another year of growth and faith together.

May your homes be filled with the light of Christ and your hearts with His love. Let us take this opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and to share the blessings we have received with those around us.

Wishing you a holy and blessed Christmas and a joyful New Year.

Blessings,

Tina Nicotina
