A Busy Term in Religious Education at St. Cuthbert's Catholic School
It has been a bustling and spiritually enriching term here at St. Cuthbert's in the Religious Education space. We’ve been involved in many meaningful activities and projects, and as we approach the end of the term, we are finishing with a flourish!
Wear Purple for Lent and Coin Lines
Our final fundraising event for Project Compassion has been a great success. On Wear Purple for Lent day, our students embraced the opportunity to show their support for this important cause by wearing purple and raising funds through class coin lines. We have only counted three class tallies so far, and have already raised over $250!! (which will be donated to Caritas Australia to aid the efforts of Project Compassion.) We are still waiting for all classes to finalise their donations. Once all the donations have been collected, we will announce the total amount raised to our families. A heartfelt thank you to all our families for their generous contributions and continued support of our fundraising initiatives. Your kindness makes a real difference in the lives of those in need.
Holy Week Prayer Spaces
Although Holy Week falls in the first week of the holidays this year, we have found a meaningful way to engage with the significance of this special time. Instead of our usual liturgies focused on the final week of Jesus’ life, prayer spaces have been set up in the hall, providing students and staff with an opportunity for personal reflection and prayer. These spaces have been thoughtfully created to encourage a deep and peaceful engagement and connection with Lent and Easter, offering a quiet, reflective atmosphere for all involved.
As we wrap up this term, we are grateful for the ways our community has come together in faith and service. Wishing everyone a blessed Holy Week and a restful holiday break.
