25.01.2022 What better way to start a Monday than by sharing about a recent prayer gathering held at St Mary Magadelenes School chapel. The theme was I am Love! Students have been sent out on a mission of love for the rest of the term love of self, love of others and love of the environment!

23.01.2022 Have you met Georgie? Georgie currently resides in our Space Room. This is a place where students can take a break from learning and engage in a variety of mindfulness practices. Sometimes it is even just a great place to hang out with your friends. Everyone loves to spend time with Georgie!

23.01.2022 Students and staff were thinking of ways to reach out to others during this ongoing time of isolation. During Catholic Education Week we created the St Mary Magdalenes Care Package Raising Hearts and Minds through Prayer and Care. Just a small way to let others know we are thinking of them. Students from across the school have written prayers to be included in each package. Catholic Education South Australia

21.01.2022 The students in our Year 5/6 class have been following Jesus journey to the cross. They explored and reflected on what was happening to Jesus at each station and made connections to events in our world today. To delve deeper, they drew a picture of a cross with their own worry on it and later shared their artefact with a partner. The next step was the creation of these artefacts. Their worries included mourning for old friends, concerns for their family with the covid-19 virus and recalling the loss of loved ones and pets. Just as Jesus death was not the end, a faith in a God of comfort was evident. A belief in a God that is always present, that blesses us with special memories and cares for our loved ones and pets.

20.01.2022 NAIDOC WEEK 2020 One of the spotlights for St Mary Magdalene's School over the next week is #NAIDOC Week 2020 National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. NAIDOC Week celebrates the achievements and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. More than 20 per cent of our student enrolments identify as Aboriginal. NAIDOC Week is a celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC Week i...s about encouraging our community to embrace the more than 65,000 years of history. It is also an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were Australia’s first explorers, first dancers, first fire makers, first story tellers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. We are in the process of organising some special events during this week. St Mary Magdalene’s School acknowledges that the Kaurna people are the traditional owners and custodians of the Adelaide Plains. We recognise Elders past, present and emerging. We are committed to reconciliation. The theme for this year’s NAIDOC Week is Always Was, Always Will Be. For more information visit www.naidoc.org.au See more

Its time to build back better for People and Planet. This World Environment Day, its Time for Nature." For more information visit https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/ #ForNature See more

05.01.2022 We were lucky enough as part of our NAIDOC Week celebrations to have parent and proud Ngarrindjeri elder Jamie McCafferty speak to us about the significance of #NAIDOC Week. The theme this year is Always Was, Always Will Be. Jamie told us the story of the Rainbow Serpent and how it created the outline of Australia and all its hills, valleys, and water ways. He shared knowledge about Indigenous weather patterns and how his ancestors moved around their country when the weather changed to get the best protection and food sources. Thank you for your time Jamie!

05.01.2022 Last week, our Early Years Community engaged in a Guided Meditation for Holy Thursday. Much empathy was felt towards the disciples as they shared a last meal with their special friend. This was expressed through words like, sad.. really, really sadworriedtearyangryfrustrated. They reasoned that Jesus said, Do this in memory of Me because He was worried the disciples would forget Him. The children were angry with the soldiers for thinking Jesus was bad. Jesus story lives on today. Our children are invited to the table by Father Pat to be his disciples. The children responded through drawing.

04.01.2022 Wow, what a busy term we have had so far at St Mary Magdalene's School Community Hub's Little Maggie’s Playgroup. It has been a delight to observe how much the children have grown in every way. With the guidance of their parents/grandparents/carers they have enjoyed laughing, singing, reading and learning together. Some activities this term included dress up, music, making, creating and also exploring the new play area, Nelson Grove. Little Maggie’s will have their last session for the year on November 26.

04.01.2022 Wellthey might not be ready yet, but the excitement was just too much to handle! Many students enjoy checking the fruit trees and garden beds when they are out at play to see what is ready to try. We were just a bit too eager this time but we are looking forward to a bountiful harvest!

04.01.2022 All it takes is an idea and a willing group of volunteers! A group of Year 5/6 students wanted to redesign the courtyard space. Designs were shared with Leadership and it didnt take long for the move to begin! We love to see such great initiative from our wonderful students. #RaisingHeartsandMinds

04.01.2022 There is never a shortage of ideas when it comes to nature play. This is just one of the many lunch play creations that has popped up this week. We are very grateful that even with the heavy rain we have had recently it always manages to stop just in time for us to go out to play.

03.01.2022 Breakfast Club is back, and this cold weather has us feeling extra hungry! A huge thanks goes to Kickstart For Kids who supply us with breakfast items each week! Norah and Musie were busy helpers last week!
