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.

On Friday 17th March we represented the College at the St. Patrick’s Day Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral as part of the Catholic Education Week celebrations. The Cathedral was packed with both primary and secondary school students and there was a lot of green! With bagpipers welcoming us into the Cathedral grounds, we took some photos before joining the opening procession carrying our College banner. After mass we had our photo taken with Archbishop Peter Comensoli. It was great to be a part of the celebrations as we represented OLSH! - Regnet Christus leaders

On the Feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in September 2022, the OLSH College Bentleigh community gave $5,000 to the OLSH Sisters for their important work in Angola. Here are some photos from Srs. Mary and Susan who are using the money raised to ensure local children have school tuition, uniforms, enough food and opportunities to receive the sacraments. Thank you to all who contributed to this via our Mission Carnival!

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.
