Religious Education

Religious Education in the Classroom
Welcome to Week 6! Mt Carmel School implements the Catholic Schools Youth Ministry International (CSYMI) Four-Phase model for student formation and ministry and our Year 6 students form Mt Carmel’s Youth Ministry team. 

A snapshot of the implementation of CSYMI at Mt Carmel School:  

  • Initial Journey with Jesus retreat
  • Classroom Journey with Jesus sessions
  • Daily Prayer using the Daily Talks with God and Thursday prayer in our school’s chapel led by Year 6 students
  • Weekly activities focusing on Connection, Proclamation, Response
  • Participation in the Religious Life of Mt Carmel School
  • Planning and delivering mini faith retreats for our younger students 

Last week, Year 6 students led mini faith retreats for Kindergarten students.

Emma: It helps me come closer to God and my life.

Mt Carmel’s Mini Vinnies News
Last week, Sharkie from the Vinnies Canberra School Team visited Mt Carmel School to talk about the role of Vinnies in our community and to launch the Vinnies Christmas Appeal and each classroom has been provided with a basket for donations. At the end of the term, we will be delivering all donations to the St Augustine’s Conference, Yass, of St Vincent de Paul. 

We are seeking your support to help those less fortunate in our community through generous donations of non-perishable food items. Your generosity and support is most appreciated. St Augustine’s Conference has requested the following items:

Prayer and Reflection
Let us be still and ask the Holy Spirit to be with us.

Dear Father,
Be with us as we pray.
Open our ears to hear your Word in the Gospel.
Unite us in faith, hope and love as we pray together.
Send your Holy Spirit to inspire and sustain us in our mission.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I invite you to participate in a 3 minute prayer reflecting on a Scripture passage. https://www.loyolapress.com/3-minute-retreats-daily-online-prayer/.
