READING IS FUN! - A group of Year 11 students have been working with Mother Teresa Primary School students every Wednesday morning this past term in a reading program which will continue all year. Each term a new group of Year 11 students will take part and for half an hour every Wednesday before school they will spend time reading and listening to Years 1-3 students. The program is a rewarding experience for both the Catherine McAuley students and the Mother Teresa ones.

PROJECT COMPASSION โ๏ธ Year 12 students continued a tradition this morning which they started when they were in Year 7 with Mrs Wilson (now retired) as their Year Coordinator. The students every year save their loose change and do a money trail as a Project Compassion fundraiser. This year, given it is their last, the students excelled and raised $706.65! ๐ The House with the longest money trail was Veritas House, who also raised the most money with a total of $235.90. All Year 12 Homerooms contributed with Caritas House raising the next largest amount with $167.80. Well done Year 12 on this tradition and for raising so much today for Project Compassion. ๐๐

At Catherine McAuley Westmead we follow the Catholic tradition of praying the Angelus at midday. ๐ ๐ This Marion devotion originated in the 13th Century and is led by our Liturgy and MAG Leaders. When praying the Angelus our focus is on the mystery of the Incarnation which recognises that God took on human flesh in the person of Jesus while retaining his full divinity. We also reflect how we as people of faith can respond to God's invitation just as Mary said "yes" to God.
