Hidden treasures uncovered

STUDENTS at St Kieran’s Primary School, Brighton, gave new meaning to Brisbane archdiocese’s July event called Pray 2010.

The northern Brisbane bayside school organised its own “Children’s Pray 2010” on July 30.

Assistant to the principal for religious education (APRE) Susan Angus-McInnes said she was “thrilled” with the result.

“The children and the presenters absolutely loved it,” she said.

Mrs Angus-McInnes organised locals and visitors to present 14 individual prayer workshops including those looking at the Examen, the Lord’s Prayer, the Rosary, Tibetan prayer flags, and prayer in art and movement.

Students from Years 3 to 7 took part and were divided into groups of eight, attending four workshops each.

Youth and Children’s Ministry team members from the archdiocese’s Faith and Life Vicariate Carole Danby and Lorraine Wynne were on hand to give a reflection on a Gospel passage.

“We wanted to share with children the precious treasure which is the Bible and concentrated on one Bible story ‘Jesus calms the storm’ (Mark 4:35-41),” Mrs Danby said.

“We handed around a lantern with a tealight in it reminding us that Jesus tells us he is the light of the world.  

“We had a pool of gold material in the centre of the room with a treasure chest hidden amongst the folds and inside the treasure chest was a Bible.

“We showed the children where the story could be found in the Bible and then I told it … the children loved it.”

The Children’s Pray 2010 event came at the end of a very busy Catholic Education Week when composer and musician Andrew Chinn also visited the school.

Andrew concluded his concert by announcing he’d chosen five St Kieran’s students to sing on an album to be recorded next year.

“I just love the way St Kieran’s students sing my songs,” he said.
