Through our 'To Be' orientation program students will Xplore More about our theme scripture for this Term- Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) in connection with the middle value of our creed 'We Encourage More to Grow in Courage'. They will be looking to our patron, St Thomas More, to discover what it means to show courage and they will collaborate to decided what Encouraging More and Growing in Courage looks like at our school. Teachers will lead students in various forms of prayer to develop WAGOLLs (What A Good One Looks Like), setting expectations of participation in the prayer life of St Thomas More's. Each class will prepare a prayer cloth to be used during class prayer throughout the year, we will share these at our first CIFG in Week 2. 

Centred in Faith Gathering

Our first Centred in Faith Gathering will be held Friday Week 2 at 8:50am in Holy Faith Hall. This will be a celebration of our Year 6 students as they receive their leadership badges and are presented to the community in their leadership roles for 2025. We will also be launching our Catholic Identity Theme this year. All families are invited to join us. 

Sacraments 2025

This Year St Thomas More's Parish will be offering the Sacrament of Confirmation for Year 6 students in Term 3 Registration information will be sent to parents later in the term. 

At the end of last year, it was decided by the Inner North Parishes that the Sacrament of First Reconciliation would be offered to students in Year 3 and First Eucharist offered to students in Year 4, as such we will not be holding Sacraments in Year 2, Year 3 or Year 4 in 2025. If you have a child in Year 3 who was intending to participate in the Sacrament of First Reconciliation in 2025 or a child in Year 4 who was intending to participate in the Sacrament of First Eucharist in 2025 and would like to discuss options for these Sacraments this year, please contact our Religious Education Coordinator Mrs Skye McPadden (skye.mcpadden@cg.catholic.edu.au).
