WELCOME BACK TO 2020 

As we begin the 2020 Academic Year, we pause to think about God’s vision for us.  This year is filled with potential and the rain over the past few weeks has filled us with more hope.  We pray that we will be able to fulfil our potential as God has planned: 

Christ has no body but yours, 
No hands, no feet on earth but yours, 
Yours are the eyes with which he looks 
Compassion on this world, 
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, 
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world. 
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, 
Yours are the eyes, you are his body. 
Christ has no body now but yours, 
No hands, no feet on earth but yours, 
Yours are the eyes with which he looks 
compassion on this world. 
Christ has no body now on earth but yours. 

Teresa of Avila (1515–1582) 

UPCOMING COURSE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH 

BISHOP ROBERT BARRON’S EUCHARIST: SACRED MEAL, SACRIFICE, REAL PRESENCE.  

Christ is alive and fully present in the Eucharist. Join us as we delve into the “source and summit” of our Faith with Bishop Barron’s DVD-based program: Eucharist:  Sacred Meal, Sacrifice and Real Presence. This spiritual study will give you a deeper understanding of the precious gift of Christ’s body, blood, soul and divinity that you can receive at each and every Mass. On Sunday February 23rd from 5 to 6.30pm, our parish will begin this six session Eucharist program. Stay tuned for details of how to register! 

STUDENT LEADERS’ RETREAT 

This Friday, the Student Leaders will gather to explore their role of leadership in our College and set plans into action for 2020.  We wish them well in this preparation and in their roles this year. 

STAFF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS 

The Staff of our College are to be commended for their hard work last week on the Staff Professional Development days.  Whilst students enjoyed their last moments of holidays and parents finalised books and school items, the staff of our College returned to work and delved into preparations for classes in 2020.  It was a very productive week for all with staff training and work being completed in areas of Curriculum Mapping, Unit Planning, Writing Skills, Visible Learning, Spiritual Formation, Workplace Health and Safety and organisation.   We are very excited about the year ahead.
