Reflection
This week we farewelled our Year 12 Students. Forever they will be members of our College community and we wish them well in their future endeavours.
Before you were even formed, God knew you.
While in your Mother's womb, God named you.
At your birth, God's breath filled you with life.
Today we celebrate what you have become at this moment in time. We pray for our Seniors:
God of our beginnings,
We thank you for the gifts of these graduates;
their excitement, their curiosity,
their open speech and encouraging words.
Their contributions have blessed and challenged us,
We have become a richer community because of them.
As they move out into the world,
comfort their fears with the full knowledge of your divine presence.
Strengthen their resolve to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
Guide them as they move through life,
protecting them and guiding their path.
We ask this blessing
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen
ST VINCENT DE PAUL
Each year, we as a College make every effort to support St Vincent De Paul in their challenge to help the needy in our community. The focus for St Vincent De Paul this year is "supporting families”, who they feel are most in need at this time. We are seeking donations of gift cards, day to day items, tinned food, as well as some traditional Christmas treats. These could be items that are considered treats at Christmas or staples to fill a pantry. To streamline your donations, we are asking each class to donate item as listed in the letters sent home last week.
Even the smallest donation will make a huge difference to families doing it tough this Christmas. Please place your donations under the giving tree in the College Office Foyer or in the box / basket in your child’s classroom by Friday 30 November. These donations will then be passed on to our local St Vincent de Paul Society at the College Christmas Fair on Sunday 2 December.
