Catholic Community Life
Global School Partnership Day
A huge thank you to our generous school community. Over $470 was raised for our partner school Gesore Preparatory in Kenya. 100% of this will go directly to the school so that students can return to safely to school in September by having access to face masks, hand washing stations, soap and additional desks. Our students also made books filled with prayers of hope for our Kenyan friends. We had a lovely afternoon engaging in prayer and creating beautiful African inspired art. Simon Carroll (founder of GSP) also recorded a special message for our students which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5tcC1jxp-I&feature=youtube
Sacrament of First Reconciliation 27th June 4-5pmThis Saturday some of our students will make the Sacrament of First Reconciliation. We ask that our school community keeps these students in their prayers as they take this important step in their faith journey. Thank you to the candidates and their families for your patience during this challenging time. We are looking forward to being part of this special occasion.
On this grace filled day
Of your First Reconciliation
May you discover the peace
And the amazing love of God’s forgiveness.

This amazing class has been working on religions and how we can better understand different people's beliefs. We think this is important because it helps us understand different people and different ways of being. Miya
