Prayer for our Year 12s

We are conscious of our Year 12s sitting their exams and we keep them close in our thoughts and prayers.

As heart people who are faith-filled, we pray for them:

Loving God,
be with all VCE students now,
as they prepare to sit their exams.

Thank you for the talents and gifts you have
given each one of them and for the educational opportunities they have had.

Calm their nerves and anxiety, help them recall all that they have studied.
May they express themselves clearly and answer all questions to the best of their ability.

Holy Spirit, breathe your spirit into their hearts and minds. Be with them.

We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Feast Day fundraising total 

We are thrilled to let you know that our final fundraising total from the Feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart activities is $20,962.65. We are very grateful for the generosity of families, students, staff and local businesses who contributed to the wonderful total. These funds will go to the work of the OLSH Sisters in Cebu in the Philippines. 

Jules Chevalier Leadership Handover 

We held our very special Jules Chevalier Leadership Handover ceremony earlier in the month. This was an opportunity to thank our 2023 Year 12 leaders and induct our 2024 Year 12 leaders, sharing the occasion with the whole College and families. 

After taking their leadership oath and having their hands washed and anointed with oil, the ceremony finished with a symbolic gesture of handover with our new leaders and past leaders swapping places on the dais marking the official beginning and end of their time as leaders. In the words of Jules Chevalier:
