This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our future Class of 2025 for their final visit before officially joining us next year. Their enthusiasm for learning and zest for life have been truly inspiring. A big thank you to our House Leaders and our Director of Students, [Mrs. McInerney], for organising such excellent orientation days.

Last Saturday's Hennessy Parish Mass was a beautiful celebration of our faith community. Special thanks to:

- Our House Captains for their leadership

- Our talented musicians and singers

- Our dedicated altar servers

We're proud of the 20+ students who represented Hennessy, and the joyful attendance at the final Youth Group of the year at St. Mary's.

House Points Challenges.

- All Saints Day Quiz: Congratulations to Rice House for taking the lead!

- Upcoming: Keep an eye out for our Advent-themed competition

Our focus this term is supporting the Vinnies Christmas Appeal. Thank you all for your generous donations at the Melbourne Cup fundraising stalls. Let's continue to support families in need throughout the term.

Get ready for our next chance to earn House Points! The theme this year is "Cherries & Harvest." More information will be sent out next week for those interested in participating.

Our uniform reminders this fortnight are:

- Shoes: Black, polishable leather lace-ups only (no boots or Mary Jane styles)

- Skirts: Should be close to knee-length

Year 8 and Year 9 excursions are just around the corner. These trips are an integral part of our pastoral program, offering unique experiences outside our local area.

Thank you all for your continued support and engagement in our college community. Let's finish this term strong!
