SLT News
The Student Leadership Team (SLT) has been busy with a number of exciting and meaningful initiatives! Recently, they took part in the Vinnies Sleepout and had the pleasure of welcoming the Parish’s new priest, Fr Felix, and participating in the Parish’s Feast of the Holy Trinity Mass.
Vinnies Sleepout was on Friday 13th and was a spectacular initiative coordinated with the ministry team and SLT. A range of activities were undertaken to grasp the reality of homelessness not just in the Clarence Valley but throughout Australia, and how Vinnies is a prime example of discipleship. Throughout the evening, students engaged in a variety of thought-provoking activities, including a scavenger hunt, mini-games, and the construction of cardboard forts. These experiences not only fostered empathy and reflection but also encouraged meaningful discussions about social justice and the importance of community support. This memorable night left a lasting impression on all who attended, and the SLT is enthusiastic about continuing this important initiative in the years to come!
On Sunday, 15th June, students took part in the Parish’s Feast of the Holy Trinity Mass at St Mary’s Church. Students were actively involved in several aspects of the celebration, including readings and participation in the musical ensemble. The Mass was led by our new Parish Priest, Fr Felix, and marked Trinity Sunday, the 1st Sunday after Pentecost. It was a joyful and spirit-filled occasion that brought the parish and school communities together.
Upcoming this Friday 20th June is our Athletics Carnival! Each of our four houses (Champagnat, Mercy, McArthy and Tracey) will go head to head to see who will win! We’re encouraging students to come dressed head to toe in house colours and bring their team spirit - participation is key. We’re looking forward to seeing Year 12 in their crazy costumes and supporting our houses on the side lines. We can’t wait to see you all there!
