We hope you all have had a very happy Easter. This afternoon we celebrated Easter with the reenactment of the final part of the Easter Story. Our Years 1 and 2 supported by their classroom teachers, Alex Granland and Nirmala Manning retold the resurrection of Jesus, ‘Alleluia, He is Risen’ and we were all so proud of the students.
On Monday 25 April, we gathered as a staff for a Religious Dimension Staff Faith Formation Day. Louise Bolton (Leader of School Improvement) led a productive day of learning, team building and prayer and we were privileged to have Father Gallacher present to us on this day. His knowledge of Scripture and the History of the Church always inspires our staff. We were able to unpack our school motto: “Virtue Alone is Noble”. Alex Keisler and myself presented sessions around Wellbeing and the Religious Curriculum. Staff built their knowledge around the Cardinal and Theological virtues and made links with the Religious Dimension Curriculum. An important component of our teaching is to engage our students at a personal and community level by being outward facing. As a staff, we were mesmerised by two young adult parishioners who shared the work they do to support those in need in our local area. All in all a wonderful day.
