Ante in Year 6 had a very special event on 28May when he received the Sacrament of Confirmation in St Joseph’s parish. I’m told it was a beautiful celebration and it’s always lovely to see our Archbishop in his special finery! Congratulations Ante.

RE Curriculum at St Monica’s

Prayer is explicitly taught, as well as experienced, at St Monica’s. Children are exposed to many varieties of prayer over their years at school and explicitly taught different prayers across their time in their Catholic school. Below is a table outlining the prayer experiences for each year level. I invite you to consider spending time in prayer with your children this coming week, accessing from their age appropriate prayers.

Whole School Prayer Time

Term Two Value Focus – Resilience

Thank you 3 Blue for your beautiful Whole School Prayer last Friday. What a lovely way to reflect on our focus value for this term, resilience through the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. You gave us great examples and thoughts about how to bounce back when things don’t quite work as we hoped and use our footsteps as a guide.

Week 8 - Eucharist

Tomorrow Year 4 will lead the whole school in prayer. They will be specially focusing on Eucharist and the special celebration for many of the Year 4 students this weekend as they celebrate their First Holy Communion. You are all invited to join the whole school in prayer at the St Monica’s Church from 9.10am onwards.
