The MagnificatMy soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.

For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden, For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me

blessed.

For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is

His name. And His mercy is on those who

fear Him from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with His arm:

He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted

those of low degree.

He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He has

sent empty away.

He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His

mercy; As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His

posterity forever. Glory be to the Father and to the

Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world

without end. Amen

Stella CommunityYear 10-12 Social Justice ForumLast week a group of Stella girls were lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit Mount St Benedict College and partake in an evening dedicated to social justice. The evening’s focus was on climate change and its interactions with nature.

We were privileged to hear a keynote address given by the 2007 Australian of The Year: Tim Flannery. Mr Flannery provided us with an eye-opening depiction of the effects of climate change globally. Although the statistics were unfortunate and shocking to us, he then followed on to give us insight as to how to combat climate change and how internationally we can all come together, thus, finishing his presentation on a more hopeful note. Hearing of his achievements and perseverance in battling climate change was inspirational and we sat in awe at the accomplishments that this individual has achieved so far in his lifetime.

We also participated in two workshops on the night - our first being an Aboriginal workshop that gave us a more in depth understanding of how nature and Aboriginal identity are interwoven and what a great influence the status of nature has on indigenous lifestyle and mindset.

In between workshops, we were given the chance to converse and share our ideas and newfound knowledge with members of our social-justice-pursuing community (whilst munching on yummy burgers). Our second workshop was an in depth informative talk that challenged us to learn about the biodiversity in the community that we live in and to further educate ourselves about Australian nature.

We ended the night with a speech from the school captain of Mount St Benedict College that asked us to question ourselves as individuals on issues facing our world and how we can work towards a better society. Overall, the entire experience was extremely rewarding and broadened our mindsets on the natural world around us and the impact we have on our planet’s wellbeing. Kiara Donlevy, Year 11
