Glowrey House Mass

On the 5th of May, the students of Glowrey House celebrated the caring, devoted and selfless life of our patron, Sr Dr Mary Glowrey. Sr Dr Mary Glowrey completed many generous acts throughout her life, including spending 37 years in India, setting up health care facilities for the less fortunate. We showed our gratitude for the acts of kindness Sr Dr Mary Glowrey undertook throughout her years, through mass. Once again Father Healey SJ made the trip down to conduct a beautiful mass for us. Students were invited to reflect about the caring nature of Sr Dr Mary Glowrey and to consider how they can be guided by this in their daily lives. Many students from Glowrey House got involved in the mass through readings, bringing forward gifts and singing. Following the service, Glowrey students celebrated with a frog in the pond (blue of course), a pizza lunch and an extended recess where students got to spend some quality time chatting with other members of their house.

Glowrey students have been able to connect more and more as the year continues. Activities completed in mentor time such as painting, have deepened the connections between students and their mentor classes and teachers. Last week students worked together to paint pictures of Sr Dr Mary Glowrey, which when completed, will be hung in each mentor room. There are many ways for students to get involved with their house, such as the house footy tipping competition which has been highly contested all year.
