Dear family and friends of OLSH College,

As our world focuses on the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad it is worth reflecting on the origins of the spirit of the modern Olympics.

The Olympic motto is made up of three Latin words: "Citius, Altius, Fortius", which means "Faster, Higher, Stronger".

These three words encourage the athlete to give her or his best during competition, and to view this effort as a victory in itself.

The sense of the motto is that being first is not necessarily a priority, but that giving one's best and striving for personal excellence is a worthwhile goal. It can apply equally to athletes and to each one of us.

The most important thing is not to win but to take part!

Participation in our journey in life is essential – this participation is about entering into all that comes our way. It is about actively seeking to be the best we can be. In our own OLSH Tradition it is being Heart People…being the heart of Christ in our world, whatever we do and wherever we are.

The authentic Olympic and Paralympic spirit is an antidote against the tragedy of war and a way to put an end to violence may sport build bridges, break down barriers, and foster peaceful relations.
Pope Francis

Always united in our shared OLSH Spirit.

May Christ Reign
