Principal's Post

Remembrance Day
Wednesday November 11 was a time of contemplation and reflection that reminds us of the self-sacrifice that enables us to live with the freedoms we enjoy today. Staff and students stopped at 11.00 am to acknowledge and pray for all those who have given their lives in conflict. Remembrance Day is commemorated across the globe, and the tradition is marked each year at the College. The Last Post was played before The Minute of Silence and then Reveille. The community was led through prayers, prose and finally The Ode.
Italian Study Tour
Wishing all the students and staff embarking on the Italian Study Tour from the College an incredible and enriching experience! May this journey deepen your understanding of Italy’s rich culture, history, and language. Enjoy every moment, from exploring iconic landmarks to connecting with the local traditions. Stay curious, embrace new experiences, and return with unforgettable memories and newfound knowledge. Safe travels, and may this adventure inspire and transform you all! Buon viaggio!
Year 12, 2027 Retreat
The 2027 Year 12 Transition Program will commence on Thursday and Friday, November 19 and 20, with the Year 12 Retreat. For all the Year 12 students and staff at Mazenod College this is a meaningful and transformative retreat experience. This special time is an opportunity for reflection, growth, and connection, both individually and each other. I hope that the Year 12s find inspiration, strength, and clarity as they navigate the final year of their journey at Mazenod. I am confident that this group will embrace the chance to deepen their faith, build lasting memories, and strengthen the bonds of friendship. May this retreat bring peace, guidance, and a renewed sense of purpose as you continue to strive towards your goals. Best wishes for a memorable and enriching Year 12 experience!
All the best,
Dr Paul Shannon
