WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘Walking Together’, we are learning about how we can all be saints.
THANKYOU
Thank you, Year 6 and especially those students in CSYMA and Jackman, along with Mrs Tanchevski for a moving Prayer Focus to celebrate when the Church remembers and honours those who have died, those we pray to and those we pray for. We think of Jesus our friend, our teacher, and our leader. We call ourselves his followers. We want to be the best followers, listening to him and doing good like him. The students lead the school in the beautiful Beatitudes Song, which reinforced how we can be the salt of the earth when we live the Beatitudes. A video of Blessed Carlo Acutis a Millennial role model of the faith was shown to the who school.

“The scribes and the Pharisees do not practise what they preach.”
Something to Think About
If you were in charge of the world, what rules would you create? Why would these rules be important?
The Story
Jesus referred to the religious leaders as hypocrites - people who said one thing and did something different. Jesus criticises them for showing off, acting important, taking the best seats, and having people call them by fancy titles. Jesus encourages his listeners to be humble, to put others first, and to place God before all else.
