Mary MacKillop and Wakakirri by Carla O & Jenna C

Our Wakakirri item this year is “Miracles Happen” which is based on Mary Mackillop’s first miracle.

During our practices we have been learning about Mary Mackillop and how she lived her life.

Mary MacKillop was:
· Brave
· Believed in herself
· Not afraid of what other people thought of her and what she did
· A very powerful person

The cast are enjoying learning new steps and how much COURAGE Mary Mackillop had!

Mary MacKillop.... A woman who dared to believe in her dream

STOP PRESS...We have our performance date

Holy Spirit North Ryde will be performing their item MIRACLES HAPPEN on Friday 14th August at the The Hills Centre, Castle Hill. ONLY nine weeks to go......
WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED!

Spreading the Word

This week Mr. Sam Spurr, from the Catholic Education Office in Sydney came out to visit our Wakakirri Cast. Mr. Spurr is going to write a report on our Wakakirri performance and how Mary MacKillop has inspired our story this year. The report is set to be published in About Catholic Schools, The Catholic Weekly and Catholic News Online.

Mr Spurr spoke with Mrs Hansell & Miss de Vries (our Wakakirri Co-ordinators) about what Wakakirri means to our school and why our story is so important to us this year. He also took some photos.

The report is due to be released next month as our performance date is draws closer.
