Br Ad’s OrdinaVon

In December, Br Ad will receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders and be ordained as a priest in the Catholic Church.

Holy Orders or Ordina@on gives the ordained person a sacred power in the name and authority of Christ and through the Holy Spirit, to serve the people of God.

There are three different orders or dimensions of ordina@on in the Catholic Church: bishop, priest and deacon. In the Roman Catholic Church, bishops and priests are obliged to celibacy, that is, to remain unmarried. Married men may be ordained as deacons. In the Ordina@on ceremony, the bishop places his hands on the head of the one being ordained and prays that God will give him the special gins of the Holy Spirit needed to carry out his ministry.

As a school and parish community, we are very excited for Br Ad as he takes this next journey in his faith. We ask everyone to keep him in their prayers during this special @me.

Mini Beasts!

In Term 3, we inves@gated mini beasts. We had a Bug Research Lab which had real mini beasts to observe. We inves@gated buierflies and their life cycle, discovered that they were symmetrical and made our own buierfly by doing a squishy pain@ng. Aner that, we studied bees and made yummy honey crackles. Then we looked at snails and had our own class snails who we watched their foot leaving a slimy trail. Aner observing the spiral shape of a snail shell, we made spiral biscuits and a drew a snail which we decorated emphasising the spiral shape . Finally, we looked at spiders and made spider webs and a spider from prin@ng blocks before adding the features. Mini beasts was a very interes@ng topic to study.

The Great Vegie Crunch!

On Wednesday September 21, our Infant Jesus students crunched and munched vegetables to par@cipate in the 2022 Great Vegie Crunch.

We successfully reached the highest noise level, the crocodile crunch! Thank you to The Great Vegie Crunch for bringing awareness to how yummy vegetables can be. We need to eat 5 serves of vegetables every day so that we can get important nutrients for our body to grow, work and play.

Alongside the Great Crunch was a vegetable colouring-in compe@@on. Congratula@ons to Sienna Nocciolino (2B), Sienna Hine (4B) and Kaitlin Soh (6B).

Happy healthy crunching!

Informa@on Technology

iOS 16

The new iOS 16 Opera@ng system has been related from Apple and with it comes some new features and effects.

One key feature is the ability to customise your home screen depending upon perimeters such as a set @me or loca@on. This feature can make the background of iPads simpler, and custom widgets can be added to the home screen. The weather, @me, calendar and reminders can all be placed on the home screen for quick accessibility.

This may be useful for students who need a visual reminder to focus at school. It can also be set to dark mode at a certain @me of night, helping to reinforce sleep mode.
