I hope everyone is safe and well. To those families impacted by the floods please reach out to the College if you need any help or support during this difficult re-building time. No doubt there is cleaning to be done and ridding the house of mould that seems to have taken hold. 

Last week we tried to get back to some normality, however, the rain made this hard and uncomfortable. This week we had plenty of events to keep us busy. On Tuesday the light drizzle and lovely temperature was good for our Interhouse Swimming Carnival. Numbers seemed to be down a bit, however, the students that were there had a great time. Agnes was by far the best House on the day, running out clear winners. Giles took home the spirit trophy. Wednesday was our Awards Night and we recognised the efforts of our students from last year. There were over 400 awards given out and we thank all the families for their support and the Seniors of 2024 who attended. Barry spoke about our Faith, Family and Future and Abbey Connell, our Dux, addressed the students about being humble and working hard. Our musicians played tremendously with plenty of upbeat music. I will send out an email requesting some feedback. Thursday was our Opening Mass and Fr Vinoj joyfully celebrated this with us. Our Elected Leaders received their badges and all the Year 12s received their badges as well. We thank the families who could be there to celebrate this with us. Today our Year 11 students spent the day with Michael Fitzpatrick in a workshop aimed at the step up to Senior schooling. We hope they took away some good messages and how they are going to be as a cohort for the next two years. Finally our members of the Board will have their Formation Day tomorrow. So a busy end to the fortnight. I do hope the next fortnight we can settle into some solid and uninterrupted teaching time. 

Until next Newsletter or I see you, take care
