PROJECT COMPASSION LAUNCH

This year Project Compassion will be launched on 16 February 2021.  Project Compassion are offering a new look to their launch.  Students in Years 5 and 6 will participate in virtual immersion sessions hosted by Caritas, which will include Q&A sessions where students can engage directly with Caritas Australia’s program operatives in Australia.  These sessions offer a unique opportunity for students to connect with the people positively affected through Caritas-supported programs and to learn more about the impact of their generous donations.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

In Week 6, we celebrate Catholic Schools Week from 28th  February to 6th March. More information will be available in the next Newsletter.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CURRICULUM

The Religious Education Curriculum aims to assist the students to reflect upon, make sense of, celebrate and live more deeply the mystery of Christ as revealed in each person and in relationship with others, the Church and creation. Religious Education, at Nazareth, is taught at the beginning of each day.
