CONFIRMATION AND LIFE PROGRAM

Year 6 have completed three of their four sessions of the Confirmation and Life program preparing them for the sacrament of Confirmation in September.  Last week students were given a pink slip to fill in the name of their Sponsor and their Confirmation name. This can be given to their class teacher or it can be brought to the last Confirmation and Life session on Tuesday, 3 September.  Thank you to the parents for supporting your children at the important time.

RELIGIOUS LITERACY ASSESSMENT

Last Monday the Wollongong Diocese conducted a Religious Literacy Assessment across all students in Year 4.  The Religious Literacy Assessment assists the Diocese and schools in assessing how we are going in Religious Education, and how we might strive towards improvement, a Diocesan Religious Literacy Assessment is conducted with Year 4 students each year. The assessment of religious literacy focuses on students knowledge and understanding of the key concepts that are taught throughout their Religious Education from Kindergarten to Year 4, and what this means for the way we live, as it is applied in society. 

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION

Last Thursday was the Feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven, which we believe is the  the bodily taking up of the Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.  Students from Year 3-6 attended church on this day and the behaviour of all students was outstanding.  Thank you to the parents who attended to celebrate with their children.

SISTER KERRY

Last Wednesday staff a Nazareth celebrated with Sister Kerry on her 80th birthday.  Sister Kerry enjoyed a morning tea and delicious cake and was presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers.  Happy birthday Sister Kerry.

NSW PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE

In Kindergarten we have been doing Challenging Maths. Our challenging task yesterday was,  I have 11 teddies altogether. There are more red teddies than green, what combinations could we create. The following students came up with different ideas to have a total of 11 teddies. 

On 12th August 2019, selected students from the Nazareth Environment Leadership team were invited to participate in the annual Blackbutt Forest Tree Planting and Interpretive Walk. When students arrived on location, they were treated to a sausage sizzle and were able to relax in the sun. Shortly after, students walked through the Forest with the guidance of Shellharbour City Council staff. While walking, students had the opportunity to talk about native and non-native foliage as well as see some spectacular wildlife such as, kookaburras and sleeping bats. 

Nazareth students enjoyed working with other schools to plant 250 grasses and trees. These trees and grasses are planted in a new section near the playground. Please see some fun pictures below from our day.
