Great to be here for Catholic Institute of Western Australia at the Diocese of Broome Gathering 2024 with Bishop Michael at UNDA and able to hear Bishop Tim and also have time to catch up with one of my former students now diocesan priest Fr Liam.

At Curtin on Monday our students explored signs and symbols of the seven sacraments. We discussed 'matter' and 'form' exploring how these material aspects of the sacraments illuminate our spiritual understanding by engaging our whole body.

Last week CIWA staff facilitated a day at Tracy jones where the teachers learned about biblical storytelling in the RE curriculum and how they could utilise the strategies with their classes. Then the EAs stepped in to make some resources. A really productive day was had by all.

On the weekend the staff of CIWA were at @notredameaustralia for their #undaopenday2024. It was great to meet prospective students and their parents and talk about the courses we offer.

CIWA staff facilitated a T.I.T.U.S./Godly Play formation day in Geraldton Catholic Education WA recently. Participants spent time learning about the context of and reflecting on scripture before setting their hands to making props to help them to tell the stories to their classes.
