Sunday, 4th March, St Agnes Catechists Micah Fernandez (10.3), Selenna Fuimaono (10.3), Kiera Everingham (10.2), Chanel Saliba (10.7) and Anella Saco (10.6) attended the Commissioning Mass for Catechists at St Aidan’s Parish Rooty Hill.
Venus Sta Ana, the SRE Parish Coordinator was delighted to share this celebration with our student catechists as she said, “they have added flavour to the Mass”. Fr Alan Layt was very happy to see our students step out of their comfort zone and to say ‘Yes’ to this ministry.
The St Agnes Catechists began observing their classes at Eastern Creek Public School this week and are committed every Tuesday morning until the end of Term 3. The enthusiasm of these students to meet the children in their classes is wonderful to witness the joy of sharing Jesus’ story in our community. We wish the students every success for a fulfilling experience.

On Friday, 5 students from years 9 & 10 kicked off Book Week early by attending the Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year Awards at the State Library! These students have been participating in the CBCA's Shadow Judging program, where they read and critique the 6 shortlisted books in the same way the adult judges select the official winner. Around 400 groups of students across Australia participated this year, and our students voted in the older ready category. Their choice was I'm Not Really Here by Gary Lonseborough, closely followed by Birdy by Sharon Kernot. All shortlisted books are on display in our library, and ready to borrow. Asides from attending the ceremony, students also had an opportunity to visit the library's Shakespeare Room, the famous Mitchell Reading Room, and take a wander through one of the library's exhibitions
