Dear Parents, Students and Staff

The past few weeks have been busy, exciting, and extremely productive for our school community.  Added to our normal learning and teaching we have hosted our Year 12 Trial HSC examinations, a celebration of the Feast of St Clare, several school activities to celebrate NAIDOC Week, School Leader speeches and voting for 2025, a Year 9 2025 Electives information evening, a Respectful Relationships presentation to female students, a Diocesan Athletics Carnival, and a range of excursions/incursions and sporting events.  All these activities have been extremely successful, and a great deal of thanks go to the staff and students who have been involved in making these events run so smoothly. 

Feast of St Clare 

On Friday 23 August we celebrated the Feast of St Clare as a school community.  The day was a wonderful opportunity to learn, to reflect and to celebrate the life of St Clare and the significance of our connection to her as our Patron Saint.  The day was split into three parts with presentations from a variety of guest speakers including the Ignite Youth Ministry team from Brisbane, followed by a celebration of Eucharist with Fr Kevin Corrigan and Deacon Vince Ryan, and concluded with a variety of stalls/activities for students and staff.  A great deal of thanks goes to Mr Koenig and the staff who helped organise and coordinate the day. 

God of Mercy,
You inspired St Clare with the love of poverty.

By the help of her prayers may we follow Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of Your glory in the Kingdom of heaven.

We ask this through Out Lord Jesus Christ Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen
