Imagine Peace for All – Pohewatia te Rangimārie mō te Katoa
Sunday, 7 – Saturday, 13 September
This year marked the final year of our three year peace-focused journey. During Social Justice Week 2025, students and schools across Aotearoa explored practical ways of building peace together - inspired by faith, action, and community.
Our theme, “Let’s Build Peace Together,” was brought to life through the Peacebuilding Blueprints, a structured week-long resource guiding students through five key aspects of peace. Tailored for Lower Primary (Years 1–4), Upper Primary (Years 5–8), and Seniors (Years 9–13), the Blueprints helped students reflect, pray and act for peace in their daily lives.
Key Resources included:
RE Curriculum Connections
Peace Focus Overview
Key Messages
Scripture
Catholic Social Teaching focus
Caritas Case Studies
See–Judge–Act Reflection
Faith in Action follow-up activities
Pilgrims of Hope Peace Passport engagement
We are grateful to every school, teacher, and student who took part in this rich and faith-filled experience. Together, we continue to imagine peace for all—and take meaningful steps toward making it a reality.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9
