WALT: WRITE A RECOUNT
The visit at the Mary Mackillop Centre
It is CTK’s School 60th Jubilee. The school decided we could go to Mission Bay to visit the Josephite sisters who founded our school. It was a long way away from our school because the ride was time consuming. We arrived and started off with a mass with Fr. Peter leading it. After mass, we went exploring the house of the Josephite sisters.
Everyone was amazed when they took one step in the house. It was beautiful. There were a lot of belongings that belonged to Mary Mackillop a long time ago. There was also her chair she used to sit on to write.
After exploring the house of the Josephite sisters, the sisters gathered the children from the learning zone and Room 4 so that we had a good question and answer time with them. They started telling us stories about how it was like in C.T.K long time ago. They also replied with amazing answers from children who asked the sisters.
While the sisters were talking, they told us many astonishing facts we didn't know. While they were talking to us, I was thinking about the past in C.T.K. Memories flashed in my mind and took me back 60 years ago. I imagined I was there back in their time and the sisters were teaching the children about God. There were only 2 classrooms. Can’t you believe that C.T.K was opened 60 years ago with 2 classrooms only? I wasn’t even born that time.
After the sisters talked to us, we sang to them “Mo Maria” and we went back to the field to sit with our classes. That was the best moment I will never forget.
