Mission Day 2024 – Summertime Sincerity 

Mary Ward once said, "Women in time to come will do much." These words resonated deeply with us as we sought to raise funds and awareness for Mary Ward International Australia on Mission Day! 

Mission Day in support of Mary Ward International Australia, was a testament to the power of unity and compassion within our school community. It was a day where we came together with a shared purpose, to make a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

The day had many highlights we started the day with a liturgy and presentation from our Social Justice Captains, for 2024 Alyssia and Amreen, Lyla and Sophia for 2025.  Their presentation shed light on the MWIA’s remarkable work in empowering disadvantaged communities, particularly women and girls, and our College's focus this year is on the Loreto Sisters and their work in Vietnam. Later, with an air of excitement and anticipation, the area in front of the Acasias, were transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, with colourful stalls, games, and displays set up by students and teachers, all lead by our Student Executive for 2024. 

Mission Day for Mary Ward International Australia was a resounding success.  It was a day that reminded us of the positive impact we can have when we work together towards a common goal. Mary Ward's words, "Women in time to come will do much," were exemplified through our collective efforts. We are grateful to be able to continue to hold this event and support Mary Ward International Australia.

Year 11 SRC and Justice Reps Visit Catherine House  

On Monday our Year 11 SRC and Justice Reps visited Catherine House. In August the Year 12 Executive and other Year 12 students held a sleep out to raise awareness and funds for the vital work of Catherine House.  This was a lesson in compassion but also a living embodiment of the Catholic Social Teaching principle of "Solidarity." 

Solidarity, a core principle of Catholic Social Teaching. 

Leaving Catherine House, the girls were inspired, to continue seeking ways to promote a more just and compassionate society.
