Welcome back everyone to Term Three. This term the school Religion calendar is jam packed. Some of the Religious events occuring in Term 3 include the Year Four Religious Literacy Test, 1 August; Year Six Mass with Bishop Brian, 3 August; Feast Of Saint Mary of the Cross Mackillop and Mass, 9:15am 8 August; The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Mass, 9:15am 15 August; World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation and Liturgy, 1 September; Feast of the Holy Cross and Grandparent Day, 14 September; Year Six Confirmation, 14 September; and class parish masses. Parents and friends will be invited to all of these special celebrations. 

Additionally, each fortnight as a school we explore a Scripture passage and focus on the messages that we can learn from these passages. This fortnight's scripture reminds us that we are all God’s children and we do what is right for the good of all. 

1 Thessalonians 5:5, 11, 15-18, 28

5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
