In the Gospel reading for the 3rd Sunday of Lent we hear the story of Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple. In John’s Gospel, this event occurs at the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry, after his first miracle at the wedding feast at Cana.
This is not a very happy Gospel to read. We have not heard before of Jesus taking a whip and driving people out with desperation and anger in his voice. It is so unlike him, the one who is patient and kind and forgiving.
Do you remember the little boy Jesus, who went to the temple for the first time? He went with his mother and his father. And he was so fascinated by the temple that he stayed there with the elders, asking and answering questions for 3 days.
And now grown to manhood, Jesus walks into the temple and he sees what has happened to it. He sees a shopping area. He sees people hungry with greed to make money. He angrily says to them, “You have taken my Father’s house and you’ve turned it into a cattle market. How could you do that?” He is almost unforgiveable in his anger.
After clearing the Temple of the merchants and the moneychangers, people asked for a sign of Jesus’ authority to do such a thing. Throughout John’s Gospel, the language of signs is distinctive. Jesus’ miracles are called signs, and the people look to these signs for proof of his authority. Here we learn that the sign will be Jesus’ passion, death, and Resurrection.
During Lent we reflect upon the meaning of this sign for us and for our world. We might take this opportunity to consider the quality of our prayer and worship. In our prayers we seek to deepen our relationship with the person of Jesus. In our Eucharistic worship within the St Brigid’s Parish community, we gather to experience anew the passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus and its significance in our lives. Jesus promises to be present with us when we gather for prayer.

TRASH FREE TUESDAY UPDATE
Last week we launched Trash Free Tuesday. Our SRC members counted the number of 'trash free' lunchboxes in each class and our SRC Chairperson Natalia calculated the percentage for each class. Here is a report from our SRC Chair person Natalia:
"Our first trash free Tuesday was a huge success and we have a winning class. This class will keep the peace lily for the week in their own personalised pot so make sure your pot is ready because it could be your peace lily this week.
In Kindergarten 47 percent of students had trash free lunches.
In Year 1 - 72 percent.
In Year 2 - 63 percent.
In Year 3 - 77 percent.
In Year 4 - 60 percent.
In Year 5 - 54 percent and in Year six 82 percent so that means that Year six are the winners of the first trash free Tuesday."
We hope you enjoy adopting and caring for the St Brigid Peace Lily. We look forward to hearing who our Week 6 Waste Warriors will be. Thank you to all the families who are supporting this wonderful initiative to reduce plastic waste and therefore care for our common home.

NAPLAN UPDATE
The NAPLAN 2021 assessment will be completed by Year 3 and Year 5 in an online format on Monday 11 May- 13 May 2021 as communicated in the last newsletter.
In additon to Naplan Online, St Brigid's has been selected by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to participate in this year’s NAPLAN 2021 Equating Study.
Each year a small number of schools participate. Year 3 and Year 5 have been selected to complete the Numeracy assessment in paper format. This will be completed the week before the NAPLAN online assessment. The purpose of the Equating Study is to enable the results for the NAPLAN tests to be reported on the same NAPLAN measurement scales from one year to the next.
Your child’s involvement and the results from this study help ACARA ensure that parents, teachers and schools can rely on NAPLAN results and be confident that the information is valid and comparable. Please be assured the equating test is not about testing your child; your child’s results are not reported.
For more information about the NAPLAN Equating Study, please see the attached Parent/Carer Information document.
TIPS and TRICKS to support your child with Literacy
Literacy involves students listening to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating oral, print, visual and digital texts, and using language for different purposes in a range of contexts. Each newsletter edition, I will aim to provide some handy tips and tricks to add to your toolkit so that you can best support your child's literacy and numeracy development. This week I will outline how you can support your child with speaking and listening activities.
Kindergarten - Year 2
Regularly talking and interacting with your child extends their language and listening skills, and helps grow their confidence with language. Include your child when discussing everyday activities such as grocery shopping, gardening, cooking dinner, collecting mail from the mailbox, doing housework, and travelling in the car or bus. Outings can also provide a world of new vocabulary. Discussion during outings can enrich your child’s understanding of the world. Outings might include going to the park, the zoo, a shopping centre, museums, libraries and art galleries. Other fun activities can include:
- Share rhymes, poems and songs. Encourage your child to join in
- Share and talk about family histories and family photos
- Look at picture books or art books. Ask your child to describe what is happening in the pictures and make up stories together
- Collect cardboard and other household items for your child to build with. Ask your child to describe what they are building
- Look at ‘junk mail’ and talk about the things for sale
- Listen to simple radio programs or podcasts together and discuss the content
- Play vocabulary games with your child such as, “what’s the opposite of ….?” and “what’s another word for….?”
- Try to ask your child specific questions about their day. A general question like “how was your day?” will likely get a single-word response of “good.” Ask specific questions like “what is the book you are reading in class about?” or “what did you do at lunchtime today?”
- Involve your child in your discussions about the day’s events or current events. Ask their opinion. This helps them understand different perspectives and increases their vocabulary.
- Show a genuine interest in your child’s reading, writing and viewing of all types of texts.Talking about texts can create meaningful discussions. It will also help your child to see them as important.
- Show interest in topics your child is studying at school. These can be a great springboard into discussions.
- Encourage your child to discuss their everyday problems and feelings
- Read several articles together on the same issue to get different opinions. Then discuss the different opinions.
- Have a debate on a topic, with you and your child taking different sides of the issue.
- Discuss news and current events to enrich your child’s understanding of the world.
-
Questions you might ask when discussing a news story or current event include:
- What do you think caused the event?
- How do you think this will affect people?
- Is it fair?
- Why do you think people, think that/do that?
- What do you think will happen next?
- What could fix the problem?
FOR THE STUDENTS... TONGUE TWISTER CHALLENGE
Tongue twisters are phrases with similar sounding words. They support language development, boost vocabulary and are alot of fun especially when recited with family or friends.
Challenge Early Stage 1 (Kindergarten) and Stage 1 (Year 1 and Year 2): can you beat my time? I can recite the following tongue twister in 2.38 seconds.
Six slimey snails slid slowly seaward
Challenge Stage 2 (Year 3 and Year 4): can you beat my time? I can recite the following tongue twister in 6.14 seconds.
Betty Botter bought a bit of butter but the bit of butter was too bitter,
so Betty bought a better bit of butter to make the bitter butter better.
Challenge Stage 3 (Year 5 and Year 6): can you beat my time? I can recite the following tongue twister in 11.02 seconds.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?
This week I offer you a different way of praying, almsgiving and fasting during Lent - the way of ecology. During this time we have an opportunity to reflect on how we can strengthen our relationship with God through focusing on our relationship with creation.
Pray — An ecological examen in the Ignatian tradition.
The examen has several steps. Begin by placing yourself in a quiet place and a posture of openness to the Holy Spirit.
Gratitude: I ask for the grace to look closely to see how my life choices impact creation and the poor and vulnerable. How can I turn away from a throwaway culture and instead stand in solidarity with creation and the poor?
Awareness: I ask for the grace of conversion towards ecological justice and reconciliation. Where have I fallen short in caring for creation and my brothers and sisters?
Understanding: I ask for the grace to reconcile my relationship with God, creation, and humanity, and to stand in solidarity through my actions. How can I repair my relationship with creation and make choices consistent with my desire for reconciliation with creation?
Conversion: I offer a closing prayer for the earth and the vulnerable in our society.
Fast — Take a break from electronic entertainment - TV, computer use, cell phone use. Pay attention to the people in front of you and the natural scenes around you instead. Try to grow comfortable with quiet and stillness.
Act — Read about ethical brand clothing. An ethical brand ensures its workers are treated fairly across the supply chain. This includes policies and practices on child labour, forced labour, worker safety, the right to join a union, and payment of a living wage.Sacrament of Reconciliation Program (Year 3)
To ensure careful preparation, attendance by the child and an accompanying parent/carer at the following four sessions is essential.
Meeting 4: Reconciliation Programme Session 3: 10th or 11th Mar, 6:30 pm in St John Vianney Co-Cathedral
Meeting 5: Reconciliation Programme Session 4: 17th or 18th Mar, 6:30 pm in St John Vianney Co-Cathedral. Sacrament of Reconciliation to follow upon completion of Meeting 5.

THE FEAST OF ST JOSEPH
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary
19 March
Pope Francis, to mark the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, has dedicated most of this year to St Joseph, whose feast day is 19 March.
In a new Apostolic Letter entitled Patris corde (with a Father’s Heart) described St Joseph as a beloved and loving father, an obedient and accepting father, a creatively courageous and a working father, and also a father in the shadows.
'Joseph found happiness not in mere self-sacrifice but in self-gift. In him, we never see frustration but only trust. His patient silence was the prelude to concrete expressions of trust.'
Pope Francis said his desire to share some personal reflections about St Joseph increased during the months of pandemic when it became apparent 'our lives are woven together and sustained by ordinary people, people often overlooked.'
In paying tribute to the doctors, nurses, essential workers, caregivers and others who did not appear in newspaper and magazine headlines but continued to care and work for others, Pope Francis invoked the care by St Joseph of the Holy Family.
'Each of us can discover in Joseph – the man who goes unnoticed, a daily discreet and hidden presence – an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble. St Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all.'
'Saint Joseph was a carpenter who earned an honest living to provide for his family. From him, Jesus learned the value, the dignity and the joy of what it means to eat bread that is the fruit of one’s own labour.'
In our own day, when employment has once more become a burning social issue, and unemployment at times reaches record levels even in nations that for decades have enjoyed a certain degree of prosperity, there is renewed need to appreciate the importance of dignified work, of which St Joseph is an exemplary patron.
Pope Francis called on us all to implore St Joseph the Worker to help us find ways to express our firm conviction that no young person, no person at all, no family should be without work.
Let us now make our prayer to him:
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil.
Amen.
REFLECTIONS
|
Sunday 7 March 3rd week of Lent  |
Israel believed that the temple was built over the navel of the universe, the axis mundi, that spot where the world above and the world below met the world of history, thus enabling the three worlds to communicate. When Jesus called himself the new temple, he was claiming to be the centre of the universe, the spot where three-way cosmic communication occurs, the presence of God in the midst of the community. When we accept him in faith, we are accepting these claims. We may profess this belief, but do our lives reflect it? Although some consider the law a rigid set of precepts, it is really more a collection of directives that have grown out of the experience of life. To say that Jesus is the wisdom of God means that God’s wisdom is made known in him and that he is the way that points to God. While laws often embody distinctive cultural values or customs, as wisdom of God, Jesus crosses cultural boundaries and breaks down cultural distinctions. As the wisdom of God, Jesus fulfils the expectations of any and all codes of law. Both the law and the temple witness to the power of God in the lives of believers. However, both institutions pale in the light of Jesus who is identified as the power of God. This divine power is not revealed in lofty precepts or in magnificent stones, but rather in the broken and pierced body of Jesus Christ. How willing are we to accept him? © Dianne Bergant CSA |

Sunday 14 March 4th week of Lent  |
Each reading provides us with an example of divine mercy. God’s use of Cyrus to deliver the Israelites, even though he was not a believer, shows that every circumstance and any person can demonstrate the scope of God’s love. In fact, it is often the situation or the individual that we least expect that has been chosen to manifest God’s mercy to us. This same mercy is seen as God brings us to life with Christ even when we were dead in sin. Mercy means that strict justice is set aside in favour of compassion. Dispossessed people are raised out of defeat and given another chance. Sinners condemned to severe punishment are raised out of despair and offered a reprieve. The whole world is raised up out of darkness when God’s own Son is sent into that world as saviour rather than as judge. God’s mercy raises us out of loss and hopelessness, out of darkness and sin, so that we might enjoy the blessings of life. We too have been raised up so that we might live in truth and might become the visible sign of God’s mercy in the world. We have been made a new people, free from the restraints of the past. Joined with Christ we become God’s handiwork, creations that bear the seal of the great creator. We are the very sacrament of God’s mercy. The forgiveness that we have experienced and the new life within us shine forth as witness to the mercy of God. © Dianne Bergant CSA |

- In circumstances where students have other medical reasons for recurrent symptoms, a letter from the GP is sufficient to negate the requirement for a negative test.
- Students and staff are encouraged to get tested as soon as possible if they display flu-like symptoms.
