SJRC News in Brief: Term 2 Week 5 - 30th May 2024
Reconciliation Week
This week our school community came together for a powerful Reconciliation Week Walk, a journey of understanding and unity. Pausing by the Sea of Hands, we reflected on the importance of reconciliation and celebrated Indigenous cultures.
We reaffirmed our commitment to respect, empathy, and solidarity with each step. Let's continue to walk this path together, fostering a future of harmony and inclusivity.
Encounter Youth
Where: The Youth Hub
When: Every Friday from 5:30-7:30pm
What do we do: Dinner, games, and a great time
Who can come: You and your mates
Cost: $5 for dinner.
Scavenger Hunt Party (31st of May)
Come and join us for a mid-term celebration this Friday at Encounter Youth. After wrapping up our series on the letters of the New Testament we’re going to have a bit of a celebration with an epic scavenger hunt, dinner, and possibly some praise & worship. Come along, bring a mate, and get ready for a great night.
Encounter Kick-on’s (Sunday’s after the 5pm Mass)
New Group: Encounter Kick-on’s. Now that we’ve moved the Youth Group to Friday nights, we want to ensure that there is a space for the youth who once could make the Sunday night Encounter, to have fun and fellowship. So, each Sunday after the 5:00pm Youth Mass there will be a large group game and supper for all young people.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
