‘The Mother Teresa School Way by’:
- embracing differences
treating others fairly- respecting our self and others
- having the courage to speak out
- recognising similarities and difference
THANK YOU
Thank you to our Year 1 students and teachers for a fabulous Focus Assembly on Justice. They gave us some very good examples of how we can show justice at Mother Teresa School. They explained that Jesus was a fair and just person and how we should try to be more like Jesus in everything we do. Even if we have small hands, we should try to ensure that we like Jesus, show fairness and justice
to all people. The song, ‘Stand Up!’ was sung with great enthusiasm. Thank you to the families and friends who came along to support the students.

Something to Think About
We can tell from the Bible that Jesus was like us in lots of ways. He had a family, and he liked spending time with friends. Can you think of other ways that Jesus might have been just like you?
The Story
The gospel passage tells us that Jesus' family thought he was ‘crazy’. Does your family ever think you do strange things? In today’s story, Jesus encourages his listeners to think about ‘family’ in a new way. He told them that God’s kingdom calls us to see and welcome everyone as part of God's family. Jesus said that anyone who obeys God is his brother or sister or mother.
