What Students are Learning About

The students in KM, Year 3 and Year 6 were lucky enough to meet with the Archbishop today.  He visited the classes to talk about the Sacraments and to hear Kinder sing a song.  We apprecaite his Grace visiting as he is very busy and has a lot of school in his archdiosce to take care of.

Year 6 Service Outreach

Our focus for Year Six is 'acts of service'. There's an enthusiastic group of Year 6 girls that love to do crochet and craft, and are keen to volunteer in the community. You may have seen them at the fete where they sold their creations and donated to Save the Children Gaza appeal.  

They are hoping to work with elderly people or people who live with disabilities. 

If you have any suggestions of where they should go, please contact stephanie.stewart@cg.catholic.edu.au

WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES FOR TERM 3!

Also if anyone has an old wooden hall table that they would like to donate I am looking for one to use as a display.  Please let me know via email on stephanie.stewart@cg.catholic.edu.au 

Saint of the Week by Alexa Chilley

St Sebastian

St Sebastain is the patron saint of sport, St Sebastian was born in Gallia Narbonensis, Roman Empire in Ad 255 and he died in Rome, Italy AD 288. St Sebastian died by getting beaten up till his death. He is the patron of sport because of his physical endurance and his energetic way of spreading and defending the Faith. 

Why I chose St Sebastian as my Saint

I chose st Sebastain as my saint because he is the Patron Saint of Sport and I wanted to pick a saint that has a connection to myself. I love sport and so I thought St Sebastian would be a perfect fit for myself to connect. He is also brave and I feel like being brave is a big part in life is to not be scared no matter what, St Sebastain was getting arrows thrown at him but he was still really brave which is a very impressive thing to do.

My Painting of St Sebastian 

My Painting has a white dove in the middle then for the background I have a peachy colour because peach is one of St Sebastian's colours. All around the dove are basketball to represent a sport since Sebastian is the patron saint of sports so I chose one sport to focus on and that was basketball since it is my favourite sport.

Catholic Life and Reflection

The parable of the mustard seed continued to be felt this week.  It is small things that have big impact when people are tired.  Miss E organised a coffee van, we had a hot lunch together on Wednesday for Winter Warmers and Vietnamese for lunch on Friday with the Archbishop. 

Fr Chung reminded us that it is the small seed of hope, joy or love that grows to overflow our cup.

I hope in the coming weeks that you are able to find those small moments that grow to fill your heart. 

Matthew 13:31-32

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

³¹ He put before them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; ³² it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.’

God bless,
