Quest Retreat Preparation
On Tuesday, our Year 12 Cadre demonstrated their enthusiasm for TC by presenting what it means to be a Man for Others. They met the Year 8 cohort in the Trinity Sport Centre and presented their experiences of various Christian Service opportunities – Red Cross Soup Patrol, Kimberley Immersion, Senior Project, and Eddie Rice Camps for Kids. They Cadre were inspirational leaders and speakers, and the Year 8 students were fully engaged in the incredible opportunities available to them. Thank you to Mr Le Tessier for all his efforts inputting this session together.
Ash Wednesday Liturgy
Lent sharpens our awareness of prayer and the importance of doing good work, acting selflessly and with compassion.
On Wednesday, the Junior School met in the Chapel and the Senior School met in the Trinity Sport Centre to celebrate our Ash Wednesday Liturgy. Fra Oscar led us in a meaningful Liturgical Service and Mrs Stewart kindly helped us reflect on the importance of Caritas in our local and global communities. Our challenge is to each bring in $20.00, which can be collected via our own pocket money, or something we have gone without. I encourage all families to support Caritas, and through our generosity, many poor people of the world will have their basic needs met during Lent. Mrs Stewart, Mr Byrne and I thank you for your prayers and generosity this Lent.
