Religious Education

 

Traditional Catholic Prayers. By Laurence

 Today for R.E  I learned about the traditional prayer. This a prayer that has been hand down from generation to generation. Example, The Our Father or the Lord's prayer is the oldest traditional prayer. It was taught by Jesus to his apostle and we still do it today. 

In the Our Father, I learnt hat petitions means a Formal Request. In the Our father we underlined the seven petitions in the traditional payer what i have done.

Responding to oral text

 MY LEARN:  TO WRITE A RESPONSE TO WHAT I READ OR AN ORAL TEXT.


TEXT: PRIME MINISTER, JACINDA 'S SPEECH AT THE DAWN RAID APOLOGY 

I WROTE A LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER IN RESPONSE TO HER SPEECH/APOLOGY

Dear Prime Minister Ardern


My name is Josaia and I am a year 7 student at St Pius X school in Glen Innes. I thank you for that wonderful speech you gave about the Dawn Raids. You have so much courage to speak out about the mistakes the government made nearly 50 years ago.   Some of our Pacific people were treated differently. Police officers judged our people for the way they looked. 

Some people were mentally damaged and traumatised because of these experiences. The fear and uncertainty they faced during the Dawn Raid is still clear in their mind today. I felt sad for them.

I like to thank you for the compensation you made towards Pacific Island communities. Thank you for the scholarships. I hope I can get a chance on it.

Good Bye Mr Coakley

 

On Thursday 1 July, St. Pius X School farewell our principal Mr Coakley. It was a very beautiful celebration and farewell. We had a school mass in the morning and an assembly in the afternoon. We had performances from the Maori group, Samoan group and the Tongan group.  We finished off our assembly with a farewell song in 4 different languages, English, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian. That was the most moving part of our assembly. We all miss our principal Mr Coakley. He is moving to another school.
