Father,
we are grateful for the kindness and generosity you show us every day and we ask that you help us to see those around us in the same way you do - as loved and treasured people.

OLSC Day
Last Friday we celebrated OLSC Day with the whole College coming together for an afternoon of activities in House groups and concluding with whole College Mass led by Father Jim. Students were able to demonstrate their community spirit with older students helping younger students, and vice versa on a few occasions! It was enjoyable and encouraging to see all our students taking the opportunity to interact and participate in some fun activities while still recognising the namesake of our College, Our Lady of the Southern Cross.
