Year 10 Learn About the Sacrament of Marriage – With a Wedding!

This week, our Year 10 Religious Education students brought their learning to life by hosting their very own wedding ceremony in class! As part of their unit on the Sacrament of Marriage, students explored the significance, symbolism, and sacred nature of this sacrament in the Catholic tradition.

To deepen their understanding, students took on roles such as bride, groom, priest, witnesses, and guests, recreating a Catholic wedding ceremony. The activity allowed them to engage with the structure and meaning of the rite in a fun, hands-on way, while also sparking thoughtful discussion around commitment, love, and the role of faith in lifelong partnerships.

The lesson was both educational and entertaining, and a memorable way for students to reflect on the values underpinning the Sacrament of Marriage.

St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal Term 2 Initiative

As followers of Christ, we are challenged to make a preferential option for the poor as it is important to create conditions for marginalised voices to be heard, to defend the defenceless, and to assess lifestyles, policies and social institutions in terms of their impact on the poor. The St Vincent de Paul Society is committed to actively and passionately speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality on behalf of the people we serve. Please watch the video attached on the excellent work St Vincent de Paul does in the community.

In term two each House is asked to donate items to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal. 

• Items that the students from Ingham, Chisholm, Davis and Deane could bring in include:  Beanies, Scarves, Socks, Gloves or Blankets and Jumpers. 
• Senior students are to donate hygiene items for the Social Justice Committee to organise hygiene packs. 

Students are to place their items for the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal in their learning circle baskets. 

Thank you for supporting the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
