School Value- Compassion

Students and staff at St Mary’s are continuing to reflect on how we can make our world a better place through living the value of COMPASSION. We are working to show God’s compassion by first being on the lookout for those who are in need and then by trying to do something about it.

Some ways we can act with compassion are:-

• Asking others who appear to be in trouble if they need help
• Listening attentively to someone’s problems
• Trying to understand another’s problems
• Comforting others who seem sad or troubled
• Forgiving someone who has done the wrong thing
• Reaching out in friendship to others who are alone
• treating others with kindness

Our school celebrated Mass today to welcome in TERM 3. The focus was on answering Jesus’ call to love one another; and on following in his footsteps in always acting with compassion.
