Season of Creation at Marymount Convent School
October 12, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Pope Francis’ Message
In line with Pope’s messaging on caring for our common home (Laudato Si), Marymount Convent School celebrated the season of creation with a sharing and some hands-on activities to bring to awareness in pupils the important role they play in caring for creation, our common home.
Introduction
There was an introduction to the season of Creation during morning assembly. The school then launched the hands-on activities in celebration of the season. During the sharing, information on St Francis of Assisi and how he loved and embraced nature and God’s creation was highlighted.
Keeping in mind why we celebrate the Season of Creation, As a community, we come together in prayer and action to care for our common home”, MCS adopted the following structure:
i) Prayer
Our daily morning prayer was on praying for our common home. Our daily Sacred Time at 12 noon involved reflection on the creation.
ii) Sustainability
A clean-up project that helps all of creation to thrive (classroom corridors, canteen, hall) was initiated. The importance of care, consideration and responsibility for our environment was emphasised.
iii) Advocacy
Voice out and show through hands-on action on recycling and upcycling
Voice out
Each student were tasked to come up with a slogan / jingle on caring for our common home and/or recycling. Prizes were awarded to the top 3 entries per level
