Maranatha Centre for Adult Faith Formation Want to know more about the topics your children are covering in RE? Married to a Catholic, but not one yourself? Thinking of working in a Catholic institution? Why not take a course at the Maranatha Centre for Adult Faith Formation. Many courses are during school time, there are no exams or assignments, and you don’t have to be a ‘good’ Catholic (or a Catholic at all!). Topics for Term 3 include “Exploring the Person, Life and Message of Jesus,” and “The Living Liturgy of the Church”. For more information or to register for a course, visit www.maranathacentre.org.au or call 9241 5221.
Nature Play WA Nature Play WA are proud to present a screening of Project Wild Thing right here in Perth at the University of WA. Project Wild Thing is a movement to get more kids (and their families) outside and reconnecting with nature. The film is an ambitious, feature-length documentary that takes a funny and revealing look at a complex issue – the increasingly disparate connection between children and nature. Find out more about the movie, watch the official trailer and book, HERE.
