This Sunday we continue to read from the Gospel of Mark (MK 9:38-43, 45, 47-48). In the
Gospel reading, the disciple John questions Jesus about an unknown person who was driving out demons in Jesus’ name. John’s question may have been motivated by jealousy as he and
the other disciples have previously compared themselves to others who seem to have
greater healing power.
The disciples observed that the unknown person invoked Jesus’ name and was successful in his healing efforts. This unknown healer recognised the power of Jesus’ name, yet he was
not a follower of Jesus. In his reply to his disciples, Jesus acknowledges that deeds of faith can precede the words of faith. He also teaches that the disciples should not be reluctant to
share Jesus’ healing powers with others.
The second part of Gospel contains a strong message for those who share the responsibility of nurturing faith. It reminds us that faith is a lifelong journey toward God. We don’t always
get it all or even get it right. But we pray for the grace to acknowledge and build upon even the smallest signs of faith, in ourselves and in others. There are plenty of obstacles that
might prevent the growth of faith. Let us pray that we are not contributing to the obstacles that might hinder another person’s faith in Jesus.
What's coming up? Week 10 Wednesday 26th & Thursday 27th September: Classes will attend Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament.
Save the Dates
Monday 22nd October (Term 4, Week 2):
Sacrament of Reconciliation Information and Enrolment Night
(Year 2 students or older students who are wanting to make this sacrament).
This will be held at the Walter Baker Hall at 7:30pm.
Classes will then run for 4 weeks beginning the week of November 5th 2018.
It’s been a busy term for Year 3 with 2 excursions! Earlier this term, year 3 went to Sydney to take part in The Rocks Walking Tour as part of History and Geography units.
We got to see how people used to live in the past and how the area has changed over time. We also visited the Ken Done Art Gallery and enjoyed seeing the artworks up close of one of
Australia’s most well known artists.
This week, we walked to our Church and had a “behind the scenes” tour and found out lots of interesting information and history about not only this Church, but our Parish. We also enjoyed walking around and seeing different parts of Woy Woy, including the different services and facilities that we have so we can use this in Geography to compare
to a location in the country. Thank you to the teachers and parents who attended on both these excursions and to Mary from the Parish who shared her love of our Church with us.
LIBRARY CORNER
Recently in Library, Fernando displayed his Bookworm house, made to celebrate Book Week. Thanks Fernando – what a great
idea for a Book Week competition next year.
Overdue books
Some students have library books that are overdue - some very overdue. These books need to be
returned as quickly as possible. Notices for overdue books were sent out this week. If a book has
been lost we do appreciate a contribution toward replacing it (usually $10). If the book is new or cost
more, the replacement cost would be higher. Please understand that every effort is made to ensure
the overdue notices are correct.
If however, you believe a book has been returned, please contact me as soon as possible
so that your child’s borrowing can continue. Thanks so much for your assistance with this.
Why is it so important to keep reading to our children as long as possible?
An article by Margaret Merga (from Murdoch University) outlines why we should keep reading to our
kids, even after they are able to read independently. Well worth a read!
One way to begin sharing books with your child is to start with your own favourite books. Remember
to read throughout the holiday break to avoid the ‘reading slide’. Years 3-6 are allowed to borrow
