From the Principal

Congratulations to our students and staff for your contributions to the Vinnies Winter Appeal. It looks impressive in the foyer and I hope students continue to be generous to those who are  less fortunate than themselves. 

It is part of our Christian duty to look out for those in need. Sometimes that need is not a physical need, but an emotional one - everyone deserves respect and to be listened to. This can be done daily when at school or in the workplace. It does not mean you have to be best friends but it means you are polite and acknowledge them as people who you go to school or work with. Kindness always matters.

Our Year 12 students met with Bishop Brian Mascord on Thursday and were engaged in his discussion and asked questions of him that hopefully will lead to an increase in understanding of the role of the Bishop in the Diocese. Thank you to Year 12 for their excellent behaviour and presentation.

The Push-up challenge has been a great initiative of awareness raising for our young people. Year 9’s participation in YAM (Youth and Mental Health) this week was excellent. Thank you to our external presenters for such a positive engagement with our young people.

Thank you to the staff who are acting in different positions during my absence. I will be on  leave from Wednesday next week. During this time Mr Shelton is Acting Principal, Ms Biddle is Acting Assistant Principal and Mrs Curcio-Borg is Acting REC.

Mr Greg Miller is acting as Leader of Student Wellbeing while Mr Dribbus is on leave and Mrs Musgrave is taking on Ms Powers duties as Sports Coordinator and Stage 5 PAL.

Next week we will welcome Ms Jennifer Madden who will be joining our English faculty for the remainder of 2024.
