Year 5 students at St Angela’s Primary Castle Hill looked to the example of St Peter and St Paul for a recent project!
Taking on the evangelists’ challenge to spread the Good News of Jesus’ life and resurrection, the students created a reflective and engaging prayer for their Kindergarten buddies.
Delving deeply into rich content about the life and faith of Christians in the early Church, the students immersed themselves in the world of first-century Palestine and the work of the early disciples. Students used what they learnt about Jesus’ life to run a prayer service that inspired and encouraged their buddies to continue Jesus and his disciples’ work.
Year 5 students, Melina and Oliver thoroughly enjoyed teaching the younger grades about Jesus. Melina said, “I felt like I was a teacher. I also learnt that writing the prayers of the faithful isn’t easy.”
As the Year 5 teacher, Mrs Theresa Lowden attested, the Year 5 students’ maturity was impressive.
“The liturgies were spiritual, creative and engaging,” she said.
The students were inspired by the Holy Spirit to spread the message of Jesus to those in their community.
St Angela’s Primary Religious Education Coordinator, Ms Michelle Yager, was pleased with the outcome of the project-based learning unit.
“In a subject that can sometimes be challenging to connect to children’s experiences, this project encouraged the students to learn about and model themselves on the life of Paul and Peter, two followers of Jesus who had a significant and lasting impact on the development of Christianity,” Ms Yager said.

We congratulate all our Year 6 students who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Bishop Vincent Long, Fr Fernando Montano-Rodriguez and Fr Peter Williams all spoke beautifully about these gifts given by God to help each young person grow and flourish in faith. May this sacrament continue to guide them in their call to be holy and to live as followers of Christ. As they continue to prepare for the next stage of their journey into high school, may they always remember our school motto, Let Your Light Shine, sharing God’s love and goodness with those around them. We thank Fr Chris, the parish Sacramental team, parents and sponsors for their support in the program.
