Year 12 Farewell

Last week we farewelled our Year 12 students with a fantastic assembly on Monday 23 October 2017 and the Year 12 Breakfast and Dress Up Day the following day, Tuesday 24 October 2017.  Our students enjoyed these occasions thoroughly and we were very happy to once again have a celebration that was dignified and fitting for our community.  We congratulate the Year 12 students on the positive and respectful way they behaved during their final days of classes.  Many of the VCE students are continuing to come to school for revision sessions as they prepare for their exams and we wish them all the very best in their preparations and keep them in our prayers.  We look forward to celebrating the Graduation Mass with the Year 12 Class of 2017 on November Thursday 23 November 2017, commencing with Mass at 6.00pm at St Simons Parish in Rowville.

Youth Ministry

Last week during the Extended Pastoral Period on Tuesday 24 October 2017, our Year 9 students ran  Youth Ministry sessions for Year 7 students in class groups.  Our Year 9 students were very impressive, showed great leadership skills and witnessed to the Year 7 students the love God has for us. Congratulations to all the Year 9 students and to Mr Nathan who coordinated the sessions and Mr Diaz and Mr McDonald who were the Year 9 RE Teachers.  We also had Mr Nathan’s Year 10 Youth Ministry class leading a Reflection Day for students from St Justin’s and St Elizabeth’s primary schools.  They all had a ball as the prepared together for their Sacrament.

St Vincent de Paul

On  Friday 16 November 2017 Nazareth will host a meeting of some of our Primary Schools with
