This Term Years K-4 will be learning about being stewards of God’s Creation. Students will learn about aspects of God’s nature and God’s relationship with people, as they engage with a variety of New Testament texts depicting the teachings and actions of Jesus, and Old Testament texts that describe God’s relationship with the Jewish people.
Years 5 & 6 will be learning about morality and responsibility. Students will learn about the contexts and key messages of some Old Testament prophets. They will understand the significance of Jesus’ New Law for the way believers live their faith, including an exploration of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Transitioning to Kinder: Pre-Kinder Reading Program
At St Pat's we offer opportunities to grow the love for reading in our students!
We are ready to start or Pre-Kinder Reading Program. What does this mean?
2023 Kinder students can start to borrow books from St Pat's to read at home. Each student has their own St Pat's book bag to keep the readers safe. These readers can be swapped at afternoon pick up at the Gipps Street Gate.
Students will be given their book bag and first readers at Big Steps next week.
