This week, we share how a tutoring program for young students at CatholicCare's Refugee Hub is excelling across both primary and secondary schools. In Liturgy Matters, Fiona Duque explores how Jesus referred to faith as a seed,
and how events in life may impact how we turn up to liturgy and
what state our 'soil' might be in. We also share an Aurora article on the evolution of Artificial Intelligence
and how it's becoming part of everyday life. In our highlights, hear about how Catholic Schools Office Virtual Academy students recently showcased their passion project at a university exhibition, and read how St Nicholas Early Education children engaged in Indigenous art with support from HSC students from All Saints' College, Maitland.
