This week I have the pleasure in leading the Year 12 Retreat at James Byrne Centre. This is a time for our Senior students to reflect on their last 12 years of schooling and look forward to their future adventures.  Together we pray with them as they journey through their last year of schooling at our College and we remind them that Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

PROVERBS 3

 My child, don't forget what I teach you. Always remember what I tell you to do.  My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life.  Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart.  If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you.

 My child, hold on to your wisdom and insight. Never let them get away from you.  They will provide you with life—a pleasant and happy life

Commencement Mass

Next Wednesday 12 February at 12:15pm we will celebrate our Commencement Mass in the Multi-Purpose Centre.  This year we welcomed 105 new students to our College and we look forward to this our first liturgical celebration of the year as a whole College.  Seniors will be presented with their senior badges during this Mass and we will officially congratulate the 2019 College Dux, Laura May.  All families and community members are welcome and encouraged to join us for this occasion.

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!

Bus transportation

We are currently compiling lists of students who catch buses from the College in the afternoons to assist with smooth transition from school to buses. If your child is planning on using bus services in the afternoon to get home please complete the attached form by scanning the code below or returning the slip sent home with students earlier in the week.  Additional copies of the slip are available at the College office.
