Reflection
Yesterday our Year 12 students began their final week of exams for school and many other classes are working on assessment. The prayer this week is for those sitting assessment:
Father,
I pray that you would be with me as I sit for assessment.
Thank you for your guidance in leading me to this study and for sustaining me as I work through this year. I ask now that your spirit would lead me.
Come sharpen my thinking and help me to excel in this test of my learning and understanding.
May I be able to recall everything I need from my studies.
May your support be my strength and guide,
Amen
I love this time of year at our College, although extremely busy it is rewarding to see the achievements of our students' last week at the Awards Ceremonies and then to celebrate with the Year 12 students, the conclusion of their 13 years of schooling. We are so proud of all these young men and women and the celebrations we hold to reflect on their schooling are important for us as a College. For many of these students, the complete 13 years have been spent at our College and we know that they will cherish their memories of schooling as they head into the next part of their journey.
Graduation Celebrations for our Year 12 students
Next week, on Thursday 15 November at 9:00am, we will gather in the MPC as a whole College to farewell our Year 12 students. All students are to wear College Formal uniform for these occasions.
On Friday we then celebrate the Graduation Mass with students from Year 9-12 at St Joseph’s Church at 9:00am. All students attending this Mass are to wear full College Formal uniform for these occasions, students (Year 9-12) who have active sports on Friday afternoon will need to bring sports uniform to change into.
Family and community members are welcome and encouraged to join us at these celebrations.
Student Leaders 2019
Today, the final speeches and voting for Student Leaders will occur. The positions for Student Leaders including College Captains, Prefect, House and SRC will be announced in the middle of the ceremony at the College Farewell to Year 12 next Thursday 15 November, 9am in the MPC. The students will also be presented with badges at this time. These positions will not be announced before then and no phone call or text messages will be made to families of these students to confirm positions. We thank the Leaders of 2018 who have done an incredible job leading our College and wish all aspiring leaders the best in their applications.
If you would like more information about any of these celebrations, please contact Mrs Cate Brennan via the College Office.
