ANZAC Prayer Assembly

The College Assembly held on Thursday 20 March was dedicated to commemorating ANZAC Day. The resurfacing of the Sports Centre floor required a move to the Performing Arts Theatre, allowing some Houses to attend in person, while others watched the livestream from their PC classrooms.

The College Symphony Orchestra provided a warm welcome before a catafalque party from 9RQR Bundaberg was posted. Other significant parts of our ceremony included three Shalom students, dressed in their Army Cadet uniforms, placing poppies for those we prayed for, and The Treble Makers leading us in the anthems following The Last Post.

When we gather to commemorate, we remember those who have served our country during times of crisis and to reflect upon their selfless sacrifice.  We are also very mindful that there are many people around the world currently working for peace, and we pray with great hope that this will be realised.

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13)

Class Masses

Each Religious Education class is allocated to a Wednesday morning 8am Mass in Loyola Chapel. The class, along with another, co-hosts this Parish Mass by taking the roles of readers and processors. When your student has an upcoming class Mass, you will receive a notification or an invitation to attend. We warmly welcome all to this weekly joint Parish School celebration. The Year 11 Religion & Ethics classes are hosting over the next few weeks.
