RE News 2018 Term 1 Week 2

A very big and warm welcome back to all of you as we begin another wonderful year of learning.
I look forward to working with you as we grow and grow and develop our relationship with God and show our children a gospel centred way of life.

I would like to extend a very warm welcome invitation to our Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday 14th February at 9.30am and our Opening School Mass on Monday 26th February at 12pm.

Each year we set a formation goal that allows the children to develop and grow in their faith. Our formation goal for the year is -

Every student will make a connection between Scripture and Sacraments deepening their spiritual understanding through the Three Senses as evidenced by pre, mid and post classroom assessment and RLA assessment.
