Festival of Excellence

Rheanna Starr - Assistant to Principal Religious Education (APRE)

Easter is a great reminder that Christ died and rose once and for all and for each one of us. His death and resurrection can Transform our lives as we endeavour to live lives that know the freedom of goodness –  lives that have love for our neighbour, lives that respect all creation, lives that restore hope and mercy.

 

Prayer

Lord, help us to accept the grace of Christ’s resurrection.

Let us be renewed by God’s mercy.

Let us know the love of Jesus.

Let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives.

Let us become agents of his mercy, channels through which God

can protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.

Amen.

 

May you have a holy and happy Easter and I look forward to seeing you again Monday 17 April to commence Term 2.

God bless,

Rheanna Starr APRE

Holy Week Prayer Celebrations

Holy Week commences with Palm Sunday on the 2 April. We remember and re-enact the events which occur for and to Jesus in the approach to celebrating the most important feast for the Christian faith – the rising to a new life of Jesus at Easter.  Each class will remember and present a prayer reflection of Jesus during Holy Week. This will be presented in the order of events that occurred historically. Parents are invited to attend the presentation of their child/children’s class/classes.
