Social Justice Team Update

The Social Justice Team met this week to start the process of Catholic Regional College St Albans becoming a Certified Catholic EarthCare School. The team began the meeting unpacking the term Integral Ecology. For many of us who are not familiar with this term it explores the relationship between the human being and the natural world, and recognizes the human as integral to nature rather than nature as subject to human domination.

One of the first jobs to achieve Catholic Earthcare Certification is to set up an EarthCare committee, which will have representatives from students, staff, school leaders and parents. If you are interested in participating in this committee please email hodoherty@crcstalbans.com.au

Year 7 Peace Reflection

In Pastoral Care this week the Year 7s returned to the question of `What does it mean to be people of peace’. They joined together in a year level prayer around their newly installed prayer symbols and peace commitments. The Year 7 students also received their Peace badge which is to be worn on their blazers for the remaining years at Catholic Regional College St Albans.
