Lest We Forget 🌺 Today, our school community gathered together in prayer and quiet reflection for our Remembrance Day Liturgy. Our students showed wonderful reverence as we paused to honour and remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. We prayed for peace in our world today and gave thanks for the freedom we enjoy. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." — John 15:13

Our students stepped up for our Catholic Mission day, embracing the theme "One in Christ, United in Mission"! We joined together in Liturgy praying for hope in a world where everyone is looked after and can flourish. Students pulled up their brightest socks and kicked goals against poverty to support our brothers and sisters in Malawi. It was a fantastic day of fun, faith and action—showing how small steps can make a big difference in the world.

Online gaming safety continues to be under the spotlight! Our latest report from the esafety commissioner reveals how major online gaming platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft and Steam, are (or are not) keeping kids safe online. While most services use tools to proactively detect unlawful and harmful material, the quality and coverage of these tools differed significantly across platforms. With around 9 in 10 Australian children aged 8 to 17 playing online games, the findings highlight the need for stronger, more consistent safeguards to help protect young people from risks such as grooming, harmful content and other serious online harms. Looking for ways to support safer online gaming. Check out this practical resource for families https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/issues-and-advice/gaming?utm_campaign=2611_edu_news_october_reengagement&utm_id=c33ee8f22376e17ca6503903521da365&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eSafety_edm

Socktober is Here! This term, our school community is taking action to support Socktober, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness and funds for vulnerable communities in Malawi and around the world. Our involvement in Socktober is directly grounded in our Catholic Social Teaching focus for this term: Preferential Option for the Poor. This principle calls on us to place the needs, rights, and well-being of the most vulnerable and marginalised members of society at the center of our actions and choices. By participating, our students learn how small acts of solidarity can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Event Details: When: Friday of Week 4 (Friday, 6th November) What to Wear: Students are invited to wear their sports uniform paired with their most colourful, fun, or crazy socks! -Please don’t go out and purchase any fancy or expensive socks. Odd socks or child decorated socks are just fine! Donations: An optional donation is much appreciated to support Catholic Mission's work. You can make an online contribution directly on the Socktober Donation Page. https://www.socktober.org.au/support Thank you for supporting our students as we put our faith into action!
