We Pray...

Holy Spirit, strengthen our students with your gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord, and serve as a disciple of Christ. Grant that they may grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ. Fill them with the joy of your presence. Increase in them the fruit of your Spirit. Help them to experience and trust your dwelling within so that they can count on your guidance today and every day. Show us the way to help one another become better disciples of Jesus, sharing your love with our world and with each person we meet. 

Come, Holy Spirit! Come!

Amen

Acknowledgment of Country

We turn our hearts and minds to the people of the Yorta Yorta nation, who have occupied this country for thousands of years. 

We pay respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging, and commit to walking alongside Aboriginal Australians in truth and justice. 

Prayer 

God of new beginnings, new ideas, new creations and new hopes,

We come to you at the beginning of this year with many feelings, expectations, hopes and dreams.

Help us to recognise that we are given NEW opportunities to hope, to create, to think and to begin again each and every day. 

Help us to accept these opportunities as ways for us to grow as an individual, as a student and a learner, as a friend, as a community member, as a follower of Jesus.

This we ask through Christ our Lord,

Amen

2024 Diocesean and School Theme 

Our theme for our school year is from the book of Revelations ~ Behold, I Make All Things New. With Revelations being the final book in the Bible, there was a sense of beginning and end, of prophecy and fulfillment. 

Our 2024 theme is not so much about creating new things or “starting from scratch” as it is about finding new ways to give meaning to and celebrate what is precious in our Catholic traditions already.

Let us begin this school year with a great sense of optimism and celebrate how lucky we are to have a beautiful school, with beautiful facilities and a welcoming community.   

Keep In your Prayers and Thoughts... 

To any of our students, families, staff and school community who may be grieving the loss of a loved one.

To all our students and families who are currently unwell.

All our families, we pray to keep them safe and healthy as we commence this school year

Our teachers as they guide our learners in the Learning Suites

"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." Matthew 21:22
