Before we were born, God willed for us to live with Him forever. When we were baptized, we became part of a special family called the communion of saints, who share in Jesus’ gift of His holiness.
The saints are people who said “yes” to God’s plan for them and are now in heaven. Some were children and young people, some were mothers and fathers, some were monks, priests or nuns, and some were single people. On All Saints Day (November 1) we praise and thank God for what He has done for us through these holy people. We ask the saints to pray for us that we might love our God and neighbour the way Jesus taught us. On All Souls Day (November 2), we pray for all people who have died. We ask God to bring them to the joyful banquet of heaven to be with God and the saints forever.
On All Souls Day (2nd Nov), there will be a space set up in front of the altar in the chapel where students and staff may leave a memorial card or the name of loved one who has passed away. This space will be left set up for the remainder of Week 5.
Thank you to Miss Taormina and the Year 5/6 classes for their involvement in Socktober. It was great to see them raise awareness of what is means to be mission and to live out mission and being Church.

Children truly embraced eating a rainbow of red in week 2! To help cool them down during the warm weather, both the Gold and Blue group enjoyed a 3-ingredient strawberry milkshake (fresh strawberries, milk and honey). The Blue group also indulged in wedges of juicy watermelon, whilst the Gold group helped to make a strawberry loaf!
After weeks of use of the ‘In the Town’ ELLA app, specifically in the pizza restaurant, reading books such as ‘Pizza Party’ and ‘The Runaway Pizza’, as well as sociodramatic play in our preschool pizza restaurant where children have been ordering, making and serving pizza’s, it was finally the children’s turn to make their own pizza’s!
A brainstorming session with both the Blue and Gold group led to some great suggestions of different vegetables we could use as toppings on our pizza. As our focus has been on eat a rainbow or red, we tried to incorporate as many red ingredients as possible.
Our ingredient list included:
