Celebrating Harmony Day at Santa Sabina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On 19 March 2024 Santa Sabina celebrated Harmony Day. This day is a national day for the celebration of cultural diversity and the development of cultural respect. The message of Harmony Day is \u2018everyone belongs\u2019 and at Santa Sabina we have always celebrated this day as a whole campus \u2013 Prep to Year 12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year saw Years 5-12 students in Gunagulla, Mundawora and Kurrawa cross the bridge to join students fromm Kindergarten to Year 4 in fun games and celebrations. Our younger students in Teangi, Yetinga and Weelya made their way to the Senior campus to join their older House mates. Students were grouped together in Houses with students from Kindergarten to Year 12 in each group. Senior students also joined Prep and Mary Bailey House students to celebrate Harmony Day together. The older students led the younger ones in games, craft and discussions that helped to generate an understanding of the different cultures students at Santa Sabina identify with. It was a day of sharing and fun. On this day, the entire College was reminded of how lucky we are to belong to a P-12 community which can celebrate days such as this together. There was certainly a feeling of belonging and connection felt by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all witnesses to Christ embracing his own cross<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thursday evening 28 March marks the beginning of the most solemn period in the Liturgical year for the Catholic Church. We begin The Easter Triduum by celebrating the Mass of the Lord\u2019s Supper. On Good Friday, we remember Jesus\u2019 passion and death, and on Easter Sunday we joyously celebrate Jesus\u2019 resurrection to new life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the students of across the College prepared to take time with their families over the Easter Break, they also gathered to mark Holy Week with moving and engaging liturgies. These gatherings were reflective of the disciples who gathered around Jesus in his final days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Week at Santa Sabina has served to acknowledge Easter as a season of hope. We have been reminded that the ultimate resurrection message is to hold steadfast in our beliefs and allow no burden to defeat us as we play witness to Christ embracing his own cross in the days leading up to Easter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
