Dear Parents and Carers,

Prayer forms an important part of our day. Every morning we pray as a school community before going into class. The Kinder students are still learning our prayers but they’ll get there! Most days classes from Kinder through to Yr. 6 participate in Christian meditation. Christian Meditation is a contemplative form of prayer that allows children to experience and develop their innate capacity to be open to God. Through silence and stillness of body and mind, children let go of thoughts and move from their ‘heads’ to their ‘hearts’, repeating internally, the sacred word “Maranatha”. It takes them on an inward journey to “be with God” – Centred in Faith.

These occasions of gathering in stillness and silence build community. With God’s grace, our actions begin to show the fruits of this type of prayer – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness and self-control.

This morning we attended Mass as a community to mark the beginning of Lent. It was a beautiful celebration and the students were prayerful and reverent. Ash Wednesday is a very important holy day on the Church’s calendar. During the season of Lent, we ask the students to be generous in all they do and to try and do something thoughtful for a friend or family member.
