International Women’s Day Breakfast: Inspiring Action and Conversation

On Friday, 7th March, we hosted a special International Women’s Day Breakfast, bringing together students and staff to reflect on this year’s theme: Accelerating Action. The event encouraged meaningful discussions on the progress made toward gender equality and the ongoing challenges that women continue to face globally.

Our Year 12 student leaders played a pivotal role in the morning’s success, leading insightful discussions and posing thought-provoking questions about the experiences of women in today’s world. Their engagement demonstrated a strong commitment to advocating for change and fostering inclusivity.

A huge thank you to Miss Serbin and the Hospitality students for their outstanding efforts in preparing a delicious breakfast, which made the morning even more special. Events like these highlight the power of conversation, education, and collective action in shaping a more equitable future for all.

We look forward to continuing these important conversations throughout the year.

Marking Ash Wednesday

On Ash Wednesday, we came together as a community to begin the sacred season of Lent, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal. To mark this significant occasion, we held a liturgy on each campus, providing an opportunity for all students and staff to participate in this tradition.

Ash Wednesday serves as a reminder of our humanity and humility, and a call to spiritual renewal. The ashes, placed on our foreheads in the shape of a cross, symbolise both our mortality and our commitment to turning our hearts toward God. The liturgies encouraged us to reflect on our actions, seek forgiveness, and embrace the Lenten journey with faith and purpose.

We are grateful for the opportunity to come together in prayer and contemplation as we prepare for Easter. May this season inspire us to grow in kindness, generosity, and compassion in our daily lives.

Shrove Tuesday

To kick off our Project Compassion fundraising campaign, our school community came together to cook and serve over 500 pancakes! This much-loved tradition marked the beginning of Lent, reminding us of the importance of giving, generosity, and supporting those in need.

Students and staff enjoyed a delicious breakfast while contributing to an important cause, raising awareness and funds for Caritas Australia’s annual appeal. A huge thank you to everyone who helped prepare, cook, and serve—their efforts truly embodied the spirit of service.

We look forward to continuing our Project Compassion journey throughout Lent!
