Holy Thursday Liturgy

Our Holy Week Liturgy, led beautifully by Mr Joseph Catania and Sr Hieu, was a deeply reflective and prayerful experience for our community. In the final days of Lent, we were invited to see the world as Jesus did — “where every person has dignity, where the poor and forgotten are welcomed, and where love is stronger than power.” What a powerful reflection of who we aspire to be as a school community.

As Easter approaches, may this sacred season offer each of us time for prayerful reflection, quiet gratitude, and joyful celebration with those we love.

As we move toward the end of term, I extend my sincere thanks to our students, staff, and families for your ongoing commitment to our College community through both word and action. Term 1 has been rich in learning, activity, challenge, and growth, and I am deeply grateful for the way our community continues to support one another with generosity and care.

Looking ahead, Term 2 will bring cooler weather and, perhaps with it, a renewed opportunity to find focus in our studies, our work, and our life together as a community. The new Term will also see some staffing changes. We extend our warmest wishes to Denise Kennedy and Rachel Bolt as they take leave for a period of rest and renewal. We also warmly welcome back Alison McPeake and are grateful to welcome Jasnoor Kaur in the role of replacement teacher.

May the Easter season bring peace, hope, and abundant blessings to you and your family.
