Our School:
Our Lady of the Rosary Primary is situated in St Marys NSW, is a co-educational primary school catering for students from kindergarten to year 6. The school is spilt across two campuses, one for our infant students (k-2) and our primary students (year 3-6). Our Lady of the Rosary is part of the Diocese of Parramatta. As such, our Religious Education curriculum follows ‘Sharing Our Story’ as set out by the Diocese. ("Religious Education - Our Lady of the Rosary Primary St Marys", 2017). We are committed to the Catechesis of our students. Our school “is a centre of excellence where the gospel message is proclaimed and all individuals are catered for in a happy, caring environment.” ("Vision & Mission - Our Lady of the Rosary Primary

When students enter the school, they become a part of our community that shares the values of Jesus.
This is through the community support, of parents, teachers, school and the parish community. As part of our Vision and Mission “We believe that this is best accomplished within the Catholic environment which supports the mission of the church by modelling and sharing its values and teachings.” ("Vision & Mission - Our Lady of the Rosary Primary St Marys", 2017).

At Our Lady of the Rosary, we include the key elements of the Catholic Schools at a crossroads. “Students would participate in RE classes, liturgies, retreats and prayers which are, as far as possible, tailored to their place in the journey of faith, addressing the core of our faith and inviting a response” (Pell & Catholic Education Office, 2007).All students are given opportunities to grow and develop their faith through participation in prayer, liturgy, group discussion and creative arts. These are done both in specific Religious education lessons and through practice in other classes and life
Schultz also stressed the importance of a biblical worldview in the teacher. As the leader in each classroom the students will adapt their teacher’s beliefs, values and finally actions. If they are taught by a teacher who holds a dualistic view of dividing the sacred and the secular, or a postmodern or modern worldview, it will adversely affect the ability of that child to develop Christ centered wisdom based upon the Word of God. Schultz, in referring to the education of children, stated “anything that hinders their moral and spiritual development is the epitome of child abuse.” (2006, p. 163). As such, our curriculum, teaching methods, and moral example, must all reflect a biblical worldview that will evangelize and discipline each student to know and love Jesus Christ.

That was the beginning of Our Blessed Mother at Fatima. She visited the children six times bringing them messages for the world. In all Her appearances at Fatima, Our Mother repeatedly emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and of performing acts of reparation and sacrifice.
Liquidity - Comparing the competitors’ liquidity ratios back to our original, Muncie Mission Ministries, it is safe to say Muncie Mission Ministries has a much higher ratio. This indicates that their current liabilities are low and they tend to stay away from aggressive spending policies. This shows that they have a low risk of bankruptcy in the near future and can continue business more comfortably than their competitors.

During the 1600s to 1700s, the Spanish were settling Texas. They did this by building missions and presidios throughout the land. The purpose was to keep the French out and to change the Indians' ways of life. Some of these missions failed and some succeeded. All in all they were closed after years of trying to change the Indians.

The Annual Catholic Appeal is a yearly fundraiser sponsored by the Archdiocese of St. Louis. This annual giving event benefits countless organizations and people regardless of race, gender or religion. The Annual Catholic Appeal is an instrumental part of growing Church influence throughout the Saint Louis area and around the region. Without money received from the Annual Catholic Appeal, many of these organizations would struggle to keep their doors open and continue the ministry of Christ.
The sisters provided the students with an education based on the spirituality and philosophy of Saint Dominic. They hoped that the prospective students would carry on the values for generations to come, that encompassed the various pillars of Integrity, Independence, Courage, Truth Creativity, Prayer, Learning, Service and Community. Santa Sabina’s motto is Veritas which means Truth. Being a Dominican school they value this trait immensely, as not only is it their motto, but it is connected to the Dominican Charism which is the “fundamental desire for God who is truth and the good”. As Dominicans, Santa Sabina believes that Jesus Christ is the truth that sets us free and this is one of the many principals that Santa Sabina adheres to both in its teaching spiritually and academically.
Jesus taught this thousands of years ago but it is still relevant to this day for the lives of all; teaching and encouraging us to live out the Eucharist and reach out to people in need. Education is one of the most significant issues we are facing in today’s society. Although many countries have signed the UDHR and organisations like Caritas Australia have tried to combat the issue, many don’t have access to this essential right. Statistics

Teachers must create lessons to inspire their students to think and make decisions based on God 's principles. The school should foster an environment where the students realize what Christ has done for them and give them the desire to see others come to know Christ as their Savior. A good way to make this happen is to create diverse learning opportunities where students can learn about other cultures and environments where missionaries are working to reach people for the Lord. Basically, the purpose of Christian education is directing the process of human development toward godliness of character and action.
In the context of Christian education, the teacher performs his role by using lessons culled from the Bible and communicating them through lectures, seminars, or discussions. However, in order to be an effective teacher, I should expand on these lessons by providing real-life examples and hypothetical illustrations in order for the student to find relevance in the lessons taught. I should provide good models for the student to imitate, and in fact, I should also make sure that I am a good model myself by knowing and taking to heart all the lessons I teach. In other words, the instruction must be thorough. To ensure that I am fulfilling my role as teacher, I must provide an opportunity for the students to respond to the lesson. According to the Richards and Bredfeldt, when a student discovers a relationship between himself and the lesson, the “pathway to personal response stands open.” By making the lessons individually applied, decentralized and student-centered, but teacher-oriente...
