We gathered last Thursday for the Induction of our Year 12 cohort. The idea of doing this as a community is to recognise the leadership role that all students take on in their final year at the college. The 2023 theme is ‘Gifts’ – the sincere gift of self to others. It is inspired by Fratelli tutti, the Encyclical of Pope Francis on fraternity and social friendship. The clear message within this letter is that we are all involved in the construction of a better world. Our hope is that by sharing their own unique gifts, our students, both individually and collectively, will contribute to our community in unique ways, leaving us stronger by doing so. The senior badges that they received, are a sign that they accept the responsibilities that come with servant leadership. We all look forward to watching them succeed.
