Mission & Identity

This week we launched the ‘2018 Stewards of Creation’ theme at assembly. Our Cultural and Sustainability Prefects encouraged students to listen to the message of Pope Francis in Laudato Si and become aware of how they can incorporate small changes into their lives which will have a significant positive environmental impact. We look forward to the Homeroom Creation Projects coming in next week. Congratulations to 5 Red who have decided to be more energy efficient one day a week. It is small initiatives like this that can contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

 

Next week we have our Commencement Mass which will be celebrated by Father Jim McKeon and the Ash Wednesday Liturgy which will begin the season of Lent. A reminder that Ash Wednesday is a day of abstinence and no meat can be consumed.
