”No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. God sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do.”
- Joel Osteen

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope that all the girls, and their families, had a wonderful break and were able to rest, relax and reflect on their application and approach to learning in Semester One.

With the commencement of Term 3, also comes the start of the HSC Trial examinations. I wish the Class of 2025 every success in their HSC Trial examinations, and my prayer for them is this extract from Thomas Aquinas’s ‘Student Prayer’ which has stood the test of time for almost 800 years:

“Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion.”
