Welcome to the end of Week 4! Our Year 3 Galahs lead us beautifully in assembly today on the theme of Laudato Si week. This week in Australia, we celebrated Laudato Si week, which is a calling for all of us to care for our common home - the earth.  This week we united with Catholics across the globe, uniting communities in action and learning more about how Laudato Si’ offers a blueprint on how to tackle the climate crisis. Globally, Catholics will come together as one family in prayer and action.  At St Benedict’s, all of our classes will have looked at this throughout the week, however, it is something we access and talk about very regularly through our eProjects that each year level carries out.  The Galahs also spoke on assembly about their eProject, the Gardens, and how our community needs to work together by caring for these areas as well.

I’ve just come back to my desk after a wonderful celebration of Under 8’s Day.  Despite all the craziness that is happening around the world currently, and even within our own lives, it’s wonderful to join together as a community and celebrate, personally I found it very life-giving!  I think events like today remind us that there is always plenty of things to be grateful for, and plenty of things worth celebrating!
