Our Year 12 leaders this week have been in Adelaide engaging in our annual Josephite Immersion Experience.
Our Opening Liturgy, held on Thursday morning, was a beautiful celebration of unveiling out 2025 theme, Seeds of Hope. Over the last few weeks, students have explored how they can be beacons of hope in our world through understanding the Jubilee Year and what it means to have hope. Both Mr Smith and Fr Sijo talked about the importance of hope in our world, and how we can be seeds to help continue to grow God’s Kingdom here on earth. Our Year 12 leaders and newly inducted SRC members have demonstrated courage to be pillars of hope and will humbly guide and serve our community, making the world a better and brighter place for all.
The Year 12 Seminar Day on 31st January was focused on our 2025 diocesan theme, Seeds of Hope.

These accomplishments highlight a consistent pattern of excellence at our school. We are proud to celebrate the success of each and every student as part of this year’s SACE results.
Firstly, we are extremely proud to have achieved 100% SACE completion rate. Our school values SACE as an important secondary school qualification that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities needed to be successful beyond school. Therefore, it is important to us that every student achieves this qualification.

They even had some time to get 'hands on', lending a hand with some of our primary classes.
Last Friday we came together as a school community to celebrate our Mass of Thanksgiving. It was an opportunity to reflect on a full and successful year. In the context of our College theme - Let Your Light Shine - we have lots of examples of our students doing great things this year. Some have demonstrated and achieved great things their learning. Others have experienced individual and team success at sporting events and competitions. We have seen students make a positive difference in the lives of others through fundraising and raising awareness for social justice issues. It was lovely to come together to celebrate all these things and more.
