WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is held each year on the 1st September.  This day marks the beginning of the Season of Creation, which is an annual event that encourages prayer and action for our common home which runs from 1st September through to 4th October. Our school has been  awarded Level 3 Certification as a Catholic Earthcare School and a copy of this Certificate is proudly displayed in our school office.  

To celebrate this day, students acknowledged the day with a prayer during their remote learning.  Students have also been engaged in other creation activities to celebrate.  It is important that we all find ways to leave our planet in a better way than we found it.

RIPPLES PODCAST

In this different time that we are experiencing, sometimes we need to shut down and clear our minds of the things going on around us. The podcast Ripples: Inspired Voices, Treasured Stillness was developed in response to COVID-19 and from a desire to find new ways to ‘be’ in this environment.

This podcast was developed for staff and parents on-going spiritual formation. It seeks to offer a space where people can draw on the wisdom of a series of guest speakers and can experience some treasured stillness through meditation. Practices like these create a ripple effect. They have the potential to impact the way we respond to family, friends, colleagues, to creation and to our loving God. Come and enjoy some Inspired Voices and Treasured Stillness.  The podcast can be listened to through ‘Apple Podcast’ or ‘’Podbean. To access please use this link: https://ripples.dow.catholic.edu.au/
