Glowrey House Update

All students in Glowrey House have really got into the spirit of their new house system in Term One and I am sure that this will continue throughout this current term. Of course this was boosted by our great efforts at the annual swimming carnival where our team efforts of participation was outstanding. Our House footy tipping competition is going well with the competition at the top of the leader board tight. Thanks to captain Alexander Quirk for organising this competition.

As a house we are most looking forward to Dr Sr Mary Glowrey’s celebration day on Friday May 5th where we will celebrate mass together and recognise the life and times of Mary Glowrey. This date is the date Mary passed away in 1957 after a life of incredible commitment and dedication to the disadvantaged.

In upcoming mentor time students will be mindfully painting images of Mary Glowrey under their caring Mentor teachers guidance as per the image below but it is the thoughtful conversations that occur during these types of activities that are of utmost importance.

Term 2 is always busy with exams at the end and the Year 10’s working to towards their work experience program but my wish is that all Glowrey House students take a small part from the Mary Glowrey story and act on it in a positive manner and from the evidence I have seen from the group so far this happens daily and makes Glowrey House a great House place to be!

Best Wishes
