Reflection
Jesus couldn’t have done it by himself – he had a team he worked with, the disciples and supporters whom continued his work once he was gone with the support of the Holy Spirit. This week’s character strength in teamwork. Sometimes it is hard to ask for help and work with others in a team but it is a skill we all need in life just as Jesus did. So we look to the Bible for inspiration:
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour:
If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION @ OLSCC
At OLSCC all students contribute to the religious life of our Catholic College. They do this in numerous ways and at different levels; for example by their active involvement in the liturgical and prayer life of the College, House days and knowledge of College Icons and more formally through the key learning area of Religion. Every child in Prep-Year 12 studies Religious Education for a minimum of 2.5 hours per week. In Prep – Year 10, students' RE program delivers the Religious Education Curriculum developed by Archdiocese of Brisbane. Currently in Year 11 & 12 students choose between Religion & Ethics (REE) and Study of Religion (SOR). As we move into the new Senior School Assessment system in 2019, all Year 11 & 12 (2020) students will study the subject of REE and have the option to choose SOR as one of their electives.
