Dear Parents, Students & Friends,

 

This week sees the end of Term Three. What a wonderfully busy term we have had with Grandparents Day celebrations, Parent teacher learning conversations, Excursions, Incursions, Book Week, Year Level Masses, School Discos, Camps, Father’s Day Breakfast, Confirmations, School Review and of course ending with our Grade 6 production The Treasure Map earlier this week.

What marvellous experiences of learning academically, socially and spiritually our students have had this term. My sincerest thanks to our incredible staff who, for some of our community events, have taken time away from their own families and loved ones to support these events, reflecting in the Motto that “We Care about our community.”

Grade 6 Production: The Treasure Map   

Wow!! What an outstanding production our Grade 6 students performed for our school community on Wednesday and Thursday evening. When I reflect on the performances, it reminds me of a quote from the late great Sir Ken Robinson who asserted that:

Kids prosper best with a broad curriculum that celebrates their various talents, not just a small range of them. And by the way, the arts aren't just important because they improve math scores. They're important because they speak to parts of children's being which are otherwise untouched.

This was evident during the performance of The Treasure Map that our incredible Performing Arts teacher, Miss Jody Banks, had bought to the surface in some students something that had not seen before: The ability to be confident and self-assured to embody the character that they were portraying fully and commit 100% to the performance. What wonderful skills to take into life!

Some live action shots of The Treasure Map can be found at the back of the newsletter. The live recording of the production will be available early next term.   

Cyber Safety Parent information session

We will once again be welcoming Martin and Carley from Inform and Empower on Wednesday 11th of October at 7.00pm.

Marty presents cyber safety information for our students each term and is teaming up with Carley, a psychologist, to present a session for our parents titled: Raising Kids in a Digital World.

I can’t recommend this session highly enough. Martin adapts his presentation each year to discuss the different social media concerns that are present at the time and how you can support your child to navigate these platforms safety.

The details for this parent information session are listed below. Please register via this link  or by scanning the QR code in the flyer below.

2024 Planning

Planning for the 2024 school year is well under way! Please email the office (office@rskingspark.catholic.edu.au) if your children are intending on leaving Resurrection at the end of year.

Resurrection Art and Cultural Show

As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, this year we will again he hold the Resurrection Art and Cultural Show. This year the theme is The Inspiration of Art and Culture, which will be held on Wednesday 25th of October.

To advertise the Show, Mr Moloney is running a logo competition for students. More information can be found further on in this newsletter.

End of Term Mass & House Spirit activities

We have been blessed with the most wonderful weather for our last day of term. Thank you to Fr Gerard for leading us in Mass this morning to end our term.

Today our student leaders who were supported by Mrs Shannon Betham provided some fantastic house spirit activities for our students to end the term.  These activities are a great way for our students to feel connected and a sense of belonging in their school houses.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our Resurrection families every blessing over the next two weeks. I hope the holidays provide you with the time to rest but also to enjoy time together as a family doing what it is that you love.

God bless,

Jess Davis

Acting Principal

The Middle School students have had a focus on their writing this term; in particular their word choice with the intention of becoming smart thinking writers.

They have been exploring and playing with sentences and how changing noun groups, strong verbs and specific topic words can make all the difference.

This week, 3C was given the sentence: The animal walked in the jungle. These were some of our enhanced sentences:

Emily - The lion zoomed in the huge jungle.

Ajok - The bat slowly jumped through the night jungle.

Dawt - The dingo slowly tip-toed in the dark green forest.

Ayak - The monkey zoomed in the giant jungle.

Daphne - The elephant stopped in the flat jungle.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (18: 21-35) 

I tell you that you forgive not seven times but seventy times seven.

Peter went up to Jesus and said, ‘Lord, how often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? As often as seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘Not seven, I tell you, but seventy-seven times.

‘And so the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who decided to settle his accounts with his servants. When the reckoning began, they brought him a man who owed ten thousand talents; but he had no means of paying, so his master gave orders that he should be sold, together with his wife and children and all his possessions, to meet the debt. At this, the servant threw himself down at his master’s feet. “Give me time,” he said “and I will pay the whole sum.” And the servant’s master felt so sorry for him that he let him go and cancelled the debt. Now as this servant went out, he happened to meet a fellow servant who owed him one hundred denarii; and he seized him by the throat and began to throttle him. “Pay what you owe me”, he said. His fellow servant fell at his feet and implored him, saying, “Give me time and I will pay you.” But the other would not agree; on the contrary, he had him thrown into prison till he should pay the debt. His fellow servants were deeply distressed when they saw what had happened, and they went to their master and reported the whole affair to him. Then the master sent for him. “You wicked servant,” he said. “I cancelled all that debt of yours when you appealed to me. Were you not bound, then, to have pity on your fellow servant just as I had pity on you?” And in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers till he should pay all his debt. And that is how my heavenly Father will deal with you unless you each forgive your brother from your heart.’

Gospel Reflection

This gospel passage follows directly from last week’s passage. It concludes the whole of Matthew Chapter 18 that deals with sin, forgiveness and reconciliation. Peter’s question to Jesus and suggested answer is a reflection of the view that there is a limit to the number of times we should forgive someone. Seven is a significant number in scripture and implies a ‘perfect’ amount. Even though by his use of seven, Peter is suggesting that he should forgive someone many, many times, Jesus quickly corrects Peter and says not seven, but seventy-seven times (or seventy times seven). Jesus plays on the use of the number seven and multiplies it to indicate that one should forgive as many times as is required – without keeping count; without keeping score.

 

The story of the unforgiving servant is a familiar one of forgiveness and mercy being shown but not passed on. The sting in the tail of this parable is Jesus’ final warning that, ‘So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.’ This is an unsettling statement, as we believe God’s forgiveness to be without measure and without end. Jesus warns that unless we seek to imitate God’s forgiveness and forgive others ‘from our heart’ (with compassion) then we are not going to recognise the forgiveness of God and will cut ourselves off from it.

The whole idea of forgiving from the heart is a powerful contradiction of a popular concept: ‘I can forgive, but not forget.’ Is it really possible to forgive but refuse to forget? Surely holding on to a memory of hurt is holding on to the hurt itself and does not display that any forgiveness has occurred at all. To forgive but not forget is to keep count. How many times should I forgive the one who has hurt me? As many times as it takes!

 

Have you Thought?

The parable sees the unforgiving servant putting his fellow servant in prison ‘until he paid back the debt’. This is almost exclusively what prisons were used for until only a few hundred years ago. When a person could not repay a debt, they were held in prison until the debt was paid. Of course, being in prison, they had little opportunity to repay the debt themselves and relied on friends and relatives to repay the debt on their behalf. To pay someone’s debt was to ‘redeem’ them. The earliest ideas of Christ as a ‘Redeemer’ were based on the idea of Christ paying a debt on behalf of humankind.

 

Living the Gospel – Just like Peter!

Throughout the gospels, Peter is a fantastic example of the common person. He has insights of faith at times but usually messes it up with his next breath. His question in this week’s gospel is one that any one of us might ask. I try to do what’s right, but how long do I have to hang in there? There has to be a limit to patience with someone who keeps upsetting me, surely? Jesus shows us that if we operate from a motivation of compassion and a desire to constantly build relationships that are life-giving for both parties, then there is no end to the number of times that we try to re-build that relationship

 

Gospel Focus – How many times?

Peter asks, ‘How many times should I forgive? As many as seven times?’ Peter probably thought that he was being pretty generous. The religious law of his time required people to forgive three times, so by suggesting seven times, Peter would have thought that he was really going the extra mile. To forgive someone seven times is a pretty big call. But the number seven has great significance in scripture; it is regarded as a number of perfection. Peter is suggesting that there is an ideal number of times that one should forgive. Jesus blows this out of the water by saying, take that perfect number of times and multiply it by seventy. There is no perfect number of times to forgive.
