“Who Do You Say I Am?” – I Am the Bread of Life

In the lead-up to our Feast Day Mass, students engaged in a powerful reflective activity centred on the theme: “Who Do You Say I Am? – I Am the Bread of Life.” This theme, which also guided our Feast Day liturgy, invited students to explore who Jesus is to them personally and how His words continue to nourish and transform our lives today.

As part of the activity, students entered a quiet, sacred space for prayer and reflection. Using four simple ingredients — grain, yeast, salt and water — they explored how these everyday elements can symbolise our journey of faith and growth.

Each ingredient represented a different aspect of Christian life:

• Grain reminded us that we are shaped and transformed through life’s challenges.
  
  
• Yeast symbolised unseen hope that quietly rises in us and others.
  
  
• Salt reflected our unique gifts and the flavour we each bring to our community.
  
  
• Water represented life, unity and the bonds that hold us together.
  
  

As each element was added to a bowl of water, students were guided through prayer and reflective questions, helping them consider how God is at work in their lives, how hope is growing and how they contribute to the common good of our school.

This short but meaningful experience helped prepare students' hearts for Feast Day, grounding our celebration in reflection, faith and community. Together, we were reminded that — just like the ingredients in bread — we are being shaped, risen, and called into something greater.

Social Justice Update 

Hello everyone, I want to take a moment to thank our school community for your incredible generosity.

Together, we collected over 300 packets of pasta and rice, and raised over $700 through gold coin donations and the Feast Day food stalls. All of this was donated to Holy Eucharist Parish to support their local foodbank, which helps people in our community who are struggling.

This isn't just a good deed — it's a powerful example of how we, as a Catholic school, are living out the principle of the common good.
The common good means thinking beyond ourselves and making sure everyone in our community has what they need to live with dignity — especially the most vulnerable.

Through your generosity, you’ve shown what it means to be people of faith in action. Thank you for being part of something bigger than yourselves and for making a real difference in the lives of others.

Let’s continue to work together to be a school that lives with heart, faith and justice.
