PJ Day

A great day was had by all at our annual PJ Day and we raised plenty of funds with our gold coin donations for Melbourne City Mission. But a crucial part of the day was raising our consciousness about issues that may not affect us but, are part of many people's lives. We will continue to reflect about these things in the week ahead, especially making connections to the Catholic Social Teaching principle of the Preferential Option for the Poor.

Preferential Option for the Poor                            If the World Were 100 People

Climate justice, Laudato Si, Catholic Social Teaching, Global Goals

As the year draws to a close, the students from Middle Matters have completed their amazing inquiries into Climate Justice.

This brief snapshot of presentation slides gives a glimpse into how they've made the connections between the facts,the Global Goals, Catholic Social Teaching and the papal encyclical, "Laudato Si."

 

Furthermore, they have raised awareness amd discussed possible actions that can be taken, even as a primary student!

CONFIRMATION EVENING FOR PARENTS

On Tuesday evening the Seniors gathered with their parents to present their learning about Confirmation. What I liked was how we were able to share our learning about Catholic Social Teaching and the Gifts of the Spirit and how they connected to our Confirmation.

On Tuesday evening we ran lectio divina with our parents. This is a prayerful way of looking at scripture and allows the Spirit to be with us. When people share their thoughts we all feel connected to         the readings.

 Tuesday evening was a time for  connecting Confirmation to our inquiry  topic, “Why Justice?” We made the  connections by reflecting on justice issues  around the world and how they challenged  us. The night was an overall success. Both  parents and students were deeply engaged  in the listening and the learning. All the  parents enjoyed seeing the research and  icons of our saints.   Amelia
