Glowrey House Report

How house captains and vice captains – Lucy, Jacob, Stella and Addison have been working very hard this week on three really significant events that are upcoming for Glowrey House.

Next Tuesday May 13th we have a Glowrey House assembly which will be student run. This assembly will build on house spirit, encourage participation and recognise our class Ignation leaders with the presentation of their badges.

On May the 20th – we have our Glowrey House Mass – held in St. Thomas’ church with Fr. Gerry Healey the celebrant. The purpose of this mass is to acknowledge and pay tribute to Sr. Mary Glowrey who continues to inspire us with the amazing things she did in her life and the incredible sense of social justice and helping others in need that she showed. Again students will be heavily involved in the running of this mass. Post mass students in Glowrey House will be provided with a pizza lunch to share in their mentor rooms.

The other thing that our leaders are working on is our Feast Day performance. Having produced a sensational act last year there is a lot to live up to, so some serious practice will need to occur later in the term to keep up our high standards but I am confident with our talented cohort we will once again produce a personal best effort but most of all have fun.

With all three of the above mentioned events I continue to be inspired by students showing confidence in speaking in front of their peers, hassling myself to be involved and basically wanting to make a difference in their own House community.

It is a pleasure to work with all Glowrey House students
