RE Curriculum

Focus on Year 6

Year 6 are learning about the Australian Catholic Church and the contributions made by individuals and organisations to the development of the Catholic faith in Australia. It is a rich history that includes St Mary MacKillop, rebel priests who celebrated sacraments in secret, and Caritas Australia. The contributions made by Catholic education communities has been extensive. In our comparatively short history our Church has certainly grown and changed remarkably. Perhaps you’d like to investigate some of this rich history yourselves?

Religious Life of the School

Whole School Prayer Time

Easter

Thank you Year 5 for your wonderful Whole School Prayer Time last Friday. I think everyone was humming “Hallelujah” for the rest of the day – not a bad way to continue to celebrate Easter. ?

Catholic Schools Week

Tomorrow, Friday 5 May, the Youth Ministry Team will be blessed and commissioned in St Monica’s Church at 9.15am. This is a special celebration of Catholic Schools Week. These Year 6 students have chosen to learn more about their own faith and to be willing to work with their peers and younger children in sharing and developing the faith of our community. You are invited to come and bear witness to this special blessing and commissioning.

Parish Masses

As we continue to strengthen our good relationship with our parish, and to build greater connections, students at St Monica’s have restarted the practice of attending weekly parish masses on Wednesday mornings. Below is the list of when each year level aims to attend the Wednesday morning mass at 9.30am. You are warmly invited to join us in these Eucharistic celebrations.

Sacramental Program

Thank you to all those families who joined us online last Thursday evening for the Parent Faith Formation evening. Special thanks for your participation and patience with our technical issues. A reminder that if you have not attended a Parish Mass and made your commitment as a family, it must be done this weekend.
