Mission
Shalom Day
Our annual celebration of all things ‘Shalom’ is coming up on Thursday 22 August.
For students this is a free dress day. No crop tops, singlet tops, short shorts or ripped jeans. They will require closed in shoes and they need to bring a hat, but it doesn’t have to be a school hat. Students are asked to bring a gold coin to donate to their House Charity. Students should bring a small bag for their lunch, hat, water bottle and sunscreen. No devices will be needed as they will be too busy participating in activities to use them.
We would also like grandparents to come along for the Prayer Celebration at 10am and the morning tea that follows. We will have seating in the Sports Centre for those that are able to join us on the day.
Masses
Gathering as a community to participate in Mass is central to being Catholic. As a Catholic School, we provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in Masses, regardless of their own faith background or none. Therefore, each House will join with another, to celebrate a House Mass during one of their timetabled Assembly times in Term 2 or Term 3.
Each Religious Education class will also cohost a Wednesday morning Mass at 8am in our chapel. This Mass occurs during term time and is a Parish Mass, so it is open to all. The Mass finishes before the 8.40am bell. Religious Education teachers will email a notice to families prior to their allocated Mass, and we encourage attendance. Upcoming Masses will be hosted by our Year 8 students.
