  • Sharing in the Mission of Jesus to Pray, Worship, and Live As Jesus Taught
    Sharing in the Mission of Jesus To pray, worship, and live as Jesus taught TARGET AUDIENCE K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Overview This Object demonstrates how Christians share in the priestly mission of Jesus in a particular way by living and working as he did. The multimedia element of this Object displays two case studies. The case studies depict how two Brigidine schools are striving to live a Christian way of life: St Joseph’s, Echuca; and Kilbreda College, Mentone. The case studies show how these schools incorporate the Brigidine ethos into their activities. The founder of the Brigidine Sisters, Daniel Delaney, is included in the Inspiration From Our Founders Object. Teacher Background Teachers are encouraged to review the ‘Living a Eucharistic Life’ section of the DVD Rom Become One Body One Spirit in Christ to deepen their understanding of: the call to ‘go forth’ and live the mission of the Gospel in our daily lives; how we are called to live our Catholic and Christian faith; and the meaning of the Eucharist in our lives. In particular, the following aspects of Become One Body One Spirit in Christ provide entry points and context for this Learning Object: • Within the pathway ‘Believe, Pray, and Act’, watch the video ‘Young People Living and Praying’. Where appropriate, use this material with the students. Supporting Content This text supports the focus of the multimedia element. Through Baptism, Jesus’ followers receive the power of Jesus to love as he does. To grow in Christian love, Christians need to be nourished by receiving Jesus in Holy Communion.

Could we have a list of such schools or school regions that are currently unserved in terms of trade training options? Mr Cook: I am happy to take it on notice. Senator O'NEILL: If possible, by electorate, just a geoshot. Mr Cook: When you say 'unserved' do you mean no children at a school are accessing a centre? Senator O'NEILL: Yes. Where there are schools that are not able to access either directly in the school or in a site created by a cluster of schools seeking the funding. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice. Answer Attachment A lists the schools eligible to apply for funding under Round Five (Phase One) of the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program that had not been approved for funding as at 17 December 2013. These schools may have existing trade training arrangements in place, for example through local agreements to access Trade Training Centres or by partnering with existing Registered Training Organisations.
