Ministry Captain Report




Much change has occurred in the College in recent weeks. In particular, we say farewell to our Year 12 students, but they stay in our prayers as we wish them good luck in the exam period.

Our Year 11 Academy Class recently had a wonderful opportunity to present a beautiful student-led liturgy, which brought our senior student community together in faith and reflection. The students, guided by the Ministry leaders, took on every aspect of the liturgy, from organising the readings and music to delivering heartfelt prayers. Their dedication and enthusiasm to the theme "Stars" created a deeply meaningful experience for everyone present. It is always inspiring to see our young leaders demonstrate their commitment to their faith and to serving others. The backdrop of stars, complete with inspirational messages, produced by senior mentor groups, provided a beautiful visual element to our liturgy. If you didn’t get the opportunity to see it you can watch the recording here:

In the spirit of giving back, we continue to encourage all families to support our ongoing charitable initiatives. October marked the Socktober appeal, where the students raised funds for communities in need through Catholic Mission. Every donation helps provide essential resources and support for people in poverty, particularly children. You can learn more about Socktober here. We thank Ms Sadler for driving this campaign.

Additionally, as we approach the holiday season, I’d like to remind families to contribute to the College's Christmas Hamper Appeal. Donations of non-perishable food and everyday essentials will help make Christmas brighter for families in need within our local community. Contributing to charity also offers us a meaningful way to live out the values of compassion and generosity.
