Last week, our Year 12 students attended venues at Springwood, Mulgoa and Grose Vale for their Senior Retreats, which were all led by our talented and generous College staff. The activities involved in the Retreats encouraged students to reflect on their lives, their relationships with family and friends, where God might be leading them as they embark upon their final year of school, and how they might use their God-given talents to live their lives to the fullest. We commend our students for committing fully to the Retreat, and extend our gratitude to the staff who facilitated the program, and to families for all of the preparation and prayers that happen behind the scenes.

Today we mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. As we receive the ashes, we are reminded of our humanity and called to turn our hearts toward Christ, who leads us through this season of repentance and renewal. Throughout Lent, our community will embrace opportunities for compassion, generosity, and selflessness as we reflect on the example of Jesus' journey towards the events of Holy Week. May this Lenten journey draw us closer to Him and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

Today, our students and staff enjoyed pancakes at recess for Shrove Tuesday. Traditionally, this is the day to use up rich ingredients like eggs and sugar before we enter 40 days of simplicity and fasting, commencing on Ash Wednesday and extending throughout the season of Lent. Thank you to the families and students who supported the day by purchasing pancakes, and to the Year 11 Peer Support Leaders who served the community.

Last Friday, we gathered as a College community to celebrate our Opening Mass for 2026. Fr Wim Hoekstra led the staff and students in a wonderful liturgy that featured the outstanding voices of our student choir. Our new College Principal, Mr Chris Browne, addressed the school after Mass, sharing some of his own background and then outlining his hopes and prayers for the year ahead. Well done to all involved.
