Miss Carberry is the teacher in our Year Three class. Our PE day is Monday.

Class Saint

St Christopher. The Patron Saint of Travellers. Feast day is 25th July

St Christopher's life is surrounded by many amazing stories. Christopher wanted to serve the greatest King on Earth. His travels led him to kings, rulers and even the Devil before learning about Jesus. Christopher served Jesus by helping guide boats and people across a dangerous river. One day a small boy asked Christopher to help him cross. The child grew heavier and heavier and Christopher barely made it to the other side. The boy revealed that he was Christ and that Christopher was to help him carry the burdens of the world. Christopher then went and taught many people about Jesus.

St Christopher, pray for us.

Teaching includes the common good, the human person, social relationships and stewardship. Further learning on careers, where value will be placed on how school and on-going learning options contribute to our future work opportunities.  Consider financial stewardship through budgeting activities, discussions about the pros and cons of different payment methods, and learning about financial risks. This is all underpinned by the religious understanding that true happiness comes from knowing God’s love and finding our identity and worth in Him.
