秀秀直播 News Term 2 Week 2 – From the Head of Primary

Jo Dunn on 10/05/2019

As we start the second Term of the year and move into the month of May, we are reminded of the love and compassion of Mary our Good Mother. The students had an exceptional start to the term, coming back from holidays rested and ready for the challenges ahead. At 秀秀直播 we create collaborative learning spaces to maximise our students鈥� ability to interact with each other through discussion, modelling and feedback which promotes creativity. This is clear in the play-based environment of the Marian Campus where our youngest students are learning social skills that will underpin their learning in the future. This term, the students will focus on empathy, learning to understand another person鈥檚 perspective or to walk a mile in their shoes. As a proud Marist College, Mary is always our example in developing empathy and promoting wellbeing for all.

ANZAC Services

Lavalla Campus

On Friday 3 May, the Year 6 students commemorated the Spirit of the ANZAC’s at a ceremony in the Marist Auditorium. The students led a respectful and reverent service in memory of those who served in the armed services for Australia and New Zealand, calling to mind those who are also currently serving in peace keeping missions across the world. Joining us from the Army was Warrant Class Officer Class 1, Damien Liddell and Abler Seaman Joshua Abbot representing the Navy. It was remarkable to see how our young leaders truly honoured this important event.

Marian Campus

The students from the Marian Campus made cards of remembrance for those who served our country. Sub-branch RSL President Rick Green graciously received the handmade ANZAC cards which will be sent to Defence Force personnel that are currently serving overseas.

Year 6 Camp

“The Year 6 students enjoyed an action-packed camp full of fun, laughter and friendship at the Forrest Edge Adventure camp in Waroona. We were challenged to 鈥渆xpand our paradigm鈥� to overcome our fears and branch out of our comfort zone. We developed leadership skills based on teamwork, confidence building and were challenged to take on responsibility and practice self-management. Some of the many highlights were abseiling, kayaking and the incentive course. Thank you to the amazing Forrest Edge staff and teachers for working with us.

In May each year, Catholic communities around the world hold Mary the mother of Jesus in pride of place.

National Sorry Day

Sunday the 26 May is National Sorry Day. This is a day for all Australians to reflect on the profound grief and trauma experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly members of the Stolen Generations due to past Government policies. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and to reaffirm our shared commitment to healing and reconciliation. As a Church community we played a role in the outcomes of some of these policies and we can take to heart the words of John Paul the II in his Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation the Bishops of Oceania in 2011. 鈥淭he Church expresses deep regret and asks forgiveness where her children have been or still are party to these wrongs. Aware of the shameful injustices done to indigenous peoples in Oceania, the Synod Fathers apologized unreservedly for the part played in these by members of the Church, especially where children were forcibly separated from their families.鈥�

National Reconciliation Week

Monday 27 May – Monday 3 June is the National Week to celebrate and build respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and all Australians. This year is the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum that saw over 90 per cent of Australians vote to give the Commonwealth the power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise them in the national census. The week ends on Monday 3 June which commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the High Court of Australia鈥檚 landmark Mabo decision in 1992, which legally recognised that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a special relationship to the land and a relationship that existed prior to colonialisation which still exists today. This recognition paved the way for land rights or Native Title. 鈥淕rounded in Truth: Walk Together with Courage鈥� is aimed at recognising that if we want to foster positive race relations, our relationship must be grounded in a foundation of truth. to learn more about National Reconciliation Week and the Australian story.
