Prayer in Honour of Queen Elizabeth II

"Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ exchanged the glory of a heavenly throne for the form of a servant, we thank you that you have given Elizabeth our Queen a heart to serve her people, and have kept her devoted in this service beyond all who were before her:
encourage us by her example to serve one another, and to seek the common good, until you call us all to reign with Christ in your eternal kingdom. Amen

K-2 Liturgy

Last week K-2 led our school in a beautiful prayer liturgy. The theme was the ‘Mission of Jesus’. During the liturgy, we were reminded that Jesus took on a great mission to be God’s love in the world and we can learn great things from His Ministry. K-2 students’ reflection was a wonderful performance highlighting Jesus’ Mission through the adventures of Nemo.

Around the Classrooms in RE

In Stage 3 Religious Education, students have been learning about the history of the Israelites and their place in God’s family as His Chosen People. The Israelites experience of God is recorded in the Old Testament. God gave them a motto to live by:

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength

- Deuteronomy 6:5

This week in RE, students reflected on the knowledge passed on to them from their own families: their parents and grandparents, relatives, and friends. Often families share mottos of their own, just like God did. Students created their own mottos and designed a poster to illustrate them. These are some of the mottos.

“Just be kind, no matter what you do” (Somer)

“Always be yourself: don’t let others overtake you” (Zoe)

“Listen and be kind” (Bella)

“Love and respect everyone” (Bea)

“Listen to hear: Listen to act” (Melanie)

“Love the Lord with all your heart” (Dara)

“A kind heart goes a long way” (Michael)

“Love others always: a smile goes a long way” (Billy)

“Be kind to others” (Thomas)

Happy Holidays

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for a wonderful term. I wish all families a happy and safe holiday. May the blessings of God be with you in your holiday ventures.
