Faith Formation Days

Our students participate with their year level in one Faith Formation Day each year.

On Thursday, 4 May 2023, Year 11 students attended the Australian Catholic University for their Faith Formation Day. They heard from the inspirational Michelle Newland, whose story of recovery from a serious medical incident at age 19, is one of bravery and faithfulness to her values and belief. Our students heard from Sr. Therese Power from the organisation, ACRATH. She spoke of their work of raising awareness of the issue of human trafficking. She also works with individuals who have been rescued and are creating a new life for themselves. Many students were surprised to learn of the widespread nature of this problem. The day concluded with a student led liturgy.

Our Year 7 students attended their Faith Formation Day on Tuesday, 23 May 2023. They heard about the Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project, an organisation that works with individuals and families who have come to Australia, often escaping persecution, and are creating a new life for themselves in Australia. Students also learned about their house patrons and created their own prayer beads. The day concluded with a liturgy in celebration of the day.

Mission Action Day

Our annual Mission Action Day walk will be held on Tuesday, 30 May 2023. This is an opportunity to raise awareness of and funds for our sister school, St. Maria Mazzarello in Venilale, Timor Leste. This school educates young women in the areas of food technology and hospitality.

This is an important whole school event and we are encouraging involvement of everyone in our community to get behind this opportunity to support those in need. All students are encouraged to raise sponsorship or make a donation. Donations can be made on the Trybooking site HERE
