The Feast of the Assumption – 15 August
Students in Years 4-6 attended a mass last Friday celebrating the Feast of the Assumption.
Our Year 6 students lead the mass by doing all the readings and jobs in the mass.
It was a lovely celebration and all the students participated in a respectful way.
Australian Catholic Education Conference- Cairns:
The ACEC Conference is being held in Cairns this week.
National Catholic Education Commission is partnering with host diocese, Catholic Education Diocese of Cairns to offer an engaging professional learning experience for an anticipated 1,500 Catholic educators, leaders, clergy, parents and others from the broader Church involved in Catholic education.
With the theme ‘Hope, Anchored in Faith’, the conference will focus on the strategic vision and mission of Catholic education across three key areas – Faith, Excellence and Access.
There will be a broad range of speakers, presentations and workshops focused on Catholic identity, mission and formation; learning and teaching; leadership and governance; parent engagement; parish and community engagement; resourcing and infrastructure; advocacy and marketing; and more.
This has been a huge undertaking for Catholic Education Diocese of Cairns as the host of this conference.
We will be taking 24 students from Year 5 and 6 for the youth formation experience and Mass occurring tomorrow (Wednesday).
God bless,
Mary MacCallum
