Welcome to Country

We were privileged to have Aboriginal Elder and proud Gunditjmara man Uncle Trevor at the College recently for a very special Welcome to Country. Uncle Trevor spoke of the gift that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity is in our modern world and led us in a beautiful smoking ceremony. 

Our students and staff were invited to place eucalyptus leaves in the fire as part of the smoking ceremony and we also heard from Year 7 students Summer and Daisy about the work they’ve been doing in Humanities to understand current discussions about The Voice referendum. 

An enormous thank you to Ms Linda Molinaro and her Year 10 RE class who prepared our sacred space and led the school community in prayer to celebrate this special occasion.

Lenten Appeal activities

Our Lenten Appeal activities are continuing, raising funds for Caritas Australia and the OLSH Sisters missions. Xavier made a great contribution to the appeal with their two-day bake sale, raising more than $1,600. We've tipped over the $2,000 mark for our Lenten Appeal fundraising which will be boosted significantly over the coming weeks by Sweeney’s St Pats day stall, Hartzer’s sausage sizzle and Chevalier’s Jules Chevalier Birthday activities. Thank you to Xavier House and all who supported the sale.
