College Feast Day

Feast Day

As we celebrate the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross,

let us glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection,

through whom we are saved and delivered.

May Christ be in our mind, in our lips, in our heart, in our actions, in our life.

Amen

The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates two historical events: the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena, the mother of the Emperor Constantine, in 320 under the temple of Venus in Jerusalem, and the dedication in 335 of the basilica and shrine built on Calvary by Constantine, which mark the site of the Crucifixion.

The Holy Cross is the most common of all Catholic symbols. It symbolises the cross on which Christ died and is a constant reminder of the sacrifice Jesus made for us and of His presence in our lives.

Thank you to Fr Bonaventure, for celebrating and leading the Mass with us to commence the day. Thank you also to our Deputy – Faith; Ben Bull and our Faith team for the preparation for the day as well as our Arts staff, grounds staff, and finance team. Thank you to all of our wonderful staff members for taking on the different roles and duties for the day, ensuring a great celebration was had by all.

Thank you to our students for your generous contribution, as well as participating in such great House spirit, such as with the House Dance competition. Well done!

Telethon Pyjama Day – Tuesday 20 September

We are very proud to hear that Year Two student, Leo Beazley, will be one of the Telethon children this year. Leo is always smiling and brings so much joy to others. This is a wonderful opportunity for Leo.

To support Leo with fundraising, we will hold a K-12 Pyjama Day on Tuesday 20 September. Students will need to donate a minimum of a gold coin to be given to their class teacher, or HTG teacher, on the Tuesday morning. If you wish to donate and not wear pyjamas, please do so.

Please be aware of our dress standards and ensure all pyjama/bed wear is appropriate, including slogans, and body coverage. Also, students may have their hair done as they wish for the day.

Students who do not wish to participate will be required to continue to wear their regular school uniform, including expected hair standards.

Join us in making this a successful and memorable time for Leo.

Learning Conversations PP-12

Monday is a pupil free day; however, student, parent and teacher conversations will be taking place throughout the day. Thank you. 

I wish you a productive and happy weekend.
