Mission
Ash Wednesday
Last Wednesday we gathered in House Assemblies to mark the start of our Lenten journey through prayer and the distribution of the blessed ashes. Students from each House led the prepared liturgy and encouraged their peers to focus less on themselves this Lent and to grow in generosity. One way this generosity can be expressed is through donating to Caritas’ Project Compassion. While donation boxes are present in each House area, donations online are also welcome.

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 11 and 12 students.
