St Louis Day

Yesterday St Louis students celebrated their House Day at John XXIII College. Over the past week we have been reflecting on the life of our patron St Aloysius Gonzaga. This included a quiz on St Louis during homeroom, with Year 12 proving the most knowledgeable, just ahead of Year 9.

On St Louis Day we shared a lunch in the TMEC. We also celebrated some of the outstanding contributions from St Louis students so far this year. Homeroom teachers and other House staff were asked to put forward the names of students who had made an extra effort in regards to Homeroom time or House spirit.

The following students were awarded a St Louis award:

Year 7                                    Year 8                                                Year 9           

Emily McAuliffe                  Alexandria Henderson              Sophie Manners     

Jacob Raj                              Anastasia Arto                              Reuben Patchett     

Year 10                                 Year 11                                             Year 12

Amy Exten                          Isabella Corompt                          Sophie Mather

Lochie Lafferty                 Sebastian Guerrera                      Matthew Lloyd

Sixteen students and three staff were also involved in cooking meals for Shopfront after school. Lots of fun was had and hopefully the meals prove to be delicious. The celebration culminated today with a special focus at the Community Mass on Saint Aloysius Gonzaga and St Louis students were involved in the Mass.

It was a pleasure to see all students involved and enthusiastic in our House day celebration. A special mention must be made of the House staff and our various student leaders for their help in organising the day.
