I would like to welcome everyone to Term 4 2019, and express my pleasure with being back in the Nazareth community. Mr Dempsey will remain on leave for another few weeks caring for his wife who is recovering from a successful surgery. I will continue as Acting Principal during his absence and will then return to my Assistant Principal position when he returns.
In 2019, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Pope Benedict XV's Apostolic Letter Maximum Illud, Pope Francis announced that October would, from this point, be known as The Extraordinary Missionary Month - a worldwide occasion of prayer, stories of mission, formation and charity.
This year, the theme of the month has been ‘Baptised and Sent: The Church of Christ on Mission in the World.’ Catholic Mission - the Pope’s official mission agency – helps Catholics in Australia to live God’s mission in the world. Through Catholic Mission, students across Australia are encouraged to learn about how the Church is taking a lead in providing life-saving care to children and fostering their personal development for a brighter future.
The students have been shown the following website and engaged in some discussion/activities - https://wmm2019.cm.org.au/primary--360-degree-vr-3-6.html
I wish all students well in the upcoming Cricket Gala Day and the CPS Basketball Challenge.
Enjoy the week ahead,
Lisa Tyson
Acting Principal
KINDERGARTEN 2020 PLAYGROUP
Last term, Year One went on an excursion to the Discovery Space at the University of Wollongong. We had a great time and learnt lots of things about our amazing bodies. We did a ‘Tummy Tour’ and got to pretend to be food and crawl in and out of an inflatable intestine. We were taught all about what happens in your body when you eat and why it is important to have a healthy diet. The excursion was lots of fun!
This term 5B are learning about the sacraments. We have been talking about the signs, symbols and rituals connected to the sacraments, deepening their understanding and how it can deepen and grow their relationship with God. The children understand that the sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life. At the moment, we are particularly focusing on Penance and Holy Orders. Students have written personal reflections about times when they have felt connected to God through something sacred or special.
