Report
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
— Aristotle
As we approach the end of the term, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all that has been achieved this term. From academic success to extracurricular activities, our students have demonstrated both their commitment to their own individual learning journeys and their commitment to our College.
Most notably, I thank the staff for providing such enriching opportunities throughout the term, the students for their willingness to embrace such opportunities and our parents for your endless support.
Holy Week Liturgy
On Monday of Week 10, the College gathered to commemorate the Final Week of the Lenten season and reflected upon the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. As a College, we journeyed through the Stations of the Cross and all were encouraged to take up our own cross and to journey with Christ over the holiday break. As Holy Week is the most sacred time in the Christian calendar, I encourage you all to attend local Parish events at this pivotal time.
Uniform
The wearing of the College uniform reflects our College to the wider community and the expectation, therefore, is that all students maintain a high standard of neatness while wearing our uniform. When we return in Term 2, the winter uniform will be worn. The College blazer is always compulsory when the winter uniform is worn. As there will be a number of girls who have had a growth spurt over the last few months, it is recommended that the length of the uniform is checked before returning to school.
