THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION - We came together as a whole school this week to celebrate the feast of The Assumption of Mary. Mary was chosen to be the mother of Jesus. She was considered to be perfect in the eyes of God. Although she became the Mother of Jesus, Mary was a simple woman who lived according to the customs and traditions of her Jewish faith. Mary is the perfect role model of living a faithful life from which we all should aspire.
Mary is also our greatest role model as a Mother, and we recognise that as a new mother, she would have gone through many hardships. The Year Two classes led this beautiful Mass and celebrated the Assumption of Mary, body and soul into Heaven, by praying for mothers within our community who need our love, friendship and support.
VERONA FACTION DAY - The school was a sea of green on Wednesday as we celebrated the faction of Verona. During the week, buddy classes got together to learn about St Verona through a variety of activities. Faction day has been a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about their faction Saint. We will be celebrating Angelico at our next Faction Day in Term Four.
SAFEGUARDING MASS - National Child Protection Week 2023 will occur from 3rd -10th September, culminating in Safeguarding Sunday on 10th September.
The 2023 theme - Every child, in every community, needs a fair go – is complemented this year with “Where we start matters”.
It is an important opportunity to raise awareness and engage, educate, and empower Australians to understand the complexity of child abuse and neglect, so we can continue to work together to prevent it.
Where we start our lives in terms of where we live, the resources available to us, and the opportunities presented to us make a significant difference to our life outcomes, matters.
Where we start as a faith-filled community in offering children and their families support and assistance makes a significant difference to life outcomes, matters.
Where we start as decision-makers in addressing large complex policy problems of child abuse and neglect, also has significant personal, social, and economic outcomes and matters.
There will be a safeguarding Mass led by our Spiritual Ministry on Sunday 10th September at 5pm. We would love to see many families attend this Mass to highlight the importance of child protection.
EVIE ROBERTS - YEAR ONE WHITE - Evie, it is such a privilege to present this person of a week award to you in recognition of the incredible young lady that you are. Mary MacKillop once said, “never see a need without doing something about it.” Evie, you truly embody this every day, always going over and above to selflessly look out for others. You consistently model the St Peter’s TRUE values in all that you do. You demonstrate what it means to live like Jesus through your words and your actions. You can be trusted to consistently make good choices. You are always willing to help with a classroom task, be a buddy for others or empower your peers with an encouraging smile, without expecting anything in return.
Evie, your unwavering level of respect for others is aspirational. You are truly dedicated to fostering unity in the classroom. You always strive to be and do your best. Your cheerful and bubbly nature fills the room with warmth and positivity every day. It is no surprise that your name means “a woman who enjoys life” because Evie, you certainly embrace each day with open arms. Your zest for life is infectious. My hope for you is that you never forget that “the world needs who you were made to be”.
Evie, you are truly one of a kind and I am so lucky to be your teacher! It is an absolute pleasure to award you as Junior Person of the Week!
SHAMILYZ CHEONG - SIX MAROON - Shamilyz, just as St Peter was the rock on which Jesus built his Church, you are a rock of faith and TRUE values within our classroom and the wider school community. You have quickly demonstrated yourself to be an exemplary student, whose humble leadership skills have given our classroom a solid basis on which to model itself and build upon.
Jesus instructed St Peter to, 'Feed my lambs... tend my sheep' (John 21:15-17), and just like St Peter, you care for and guide all of those around you. Shamilyz, you display empathy in each of your dealings with your peers, and quietly go about assisting students in need, without seeking any accolades or acknowledgement. You show an abundance of respect to your teachers and let them know that you value each and every lesson and demonstrate your gratitude by always being eagerly engaged in all classroom activities. Shamilyz, your dedication to excellence serves as an inspiration to your peers, motivating them to strive for greatness.
Just like St Peter, Shamilyz, your strengths lie in your leadership and your ability to take care of others and show compassion. As you take your final steps towards Graduation this year, we look forward to seeing the Holy Spirit continue to grow within you, and help you remain committed on your journey of love, compassion, and leadership, that so strongly lives within your heart already.
Congratulations on being awarded St Peter’s Senior Person of the Week!
