WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘Walking Together’.
The theme for Term 3 is Sustainability and will be closely aligned with the encyclical, Laudato Si', in which Pope Francis asks us to be kind to the environment by living simpler lifestyles. We don’t need so much “stuff”, we only need what is necessary to live and be comfortable.
“…approximately a third of all food produced is discarded, and whenever food is thrown out it is as if it were stolen from the table of the poor.”
(Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ n 50)
- What can you do at home and at school to be kind to the environment?
- Can you live more simply when you go shopping for clothes, toys and food?
- What about when you have special celebrations/events at home and at school?

“Let them grow together until the harvest.”
Something to Think About
Jesus tells us to accept people and not judge or criticise them.
Every person is capable of good deeds and bad deeds. Only God truly knows a person’s heart.
The Story
A man sows good seed in his field but during the night an enemy comes and plants weeds. They both grow together, the good and the bad. The servants want to pull up the weeds immediately, but the wise farmer tells them to wait. He is worried that if they pull the weeds, they might also pull some of the wheat. He tells them to let the weeds and the wheat grow together side by side until harvest time.
