Making Jesus Real at Mary MacKillop
Making Jesus Real (MJR) is a programme designed to foster a relationship with Jesus that is real to the students and relevant to their daily lives. MJR is centred around the belief that we are the image of Jesus to all people around us. We are His representatives, and our actions should reflect His values taught in the Gospel. Jesus told us that we are all part of His family and that the way we treat others should be reflective of the way we would treat Him.
MJR has a simple message – Jesus is part of our lives and can change the way we live; that we can make Jesus real through our daily actions and words. An important aspect of MJR is learning how to recognise Spirit of Jesus (SOJ) moments in an encounter with a friend, a cheerful greeting, a smile, a wink of encouragement, an offer of a helping hand or an unexpected compliment.
During recess and lunchtimes, our staff will be recognising students who demonstrate the Spirit of Jesus by awarding them with an MJR peg. These students will be acknowledged at our weekly Assembly and their photo will be taken and displayed in the undercover area on our MJR display board as an example of how we make Jesus real within our school community. Our Kindergarten students do not attend Assembly, however, they will also be identified for their SOJ moments and displayed proudly on our MJR board.
Students will also be learning about what is means to be a WESTIE. ‘W.E.S.T.I.E.’ is an acronym that provides a meaningful platform for students, teachers and parents to ‘live’ the values of MJR on a daily basis. The acronym stand for:
Welcoming – being friendly and welcoming to others
Encouraging – saying positive things to self and others
Saying Sorry – admitting personal wrong doing and taking steps to repair relationships
Thankful – showing appreciation to others
Inclusive – being inclusive in words and actions to others
Enthusiastic – showing a positive attitude towards school work, peers and teachers
We look forward to celebrating the many Spirit of Jesus moments that take place at Mary MacKillop every day.
