Last Friday on the 21st of May, We celebrated our annual Hennessy Day. Staff and Students attended a Mass Held by Father Yoseph. This was particularly special as the mass included a lamb, students participated in large numbers through reading, singing and taking part in the homily. During break, PC’s sold food and drinks and the profit from those stalls went to St Vincent De Paul, we successfully raised $1,106.35. To finish the day off, students and staff participated in a wide range of activities such as trivia, sack races, water balloon tennis and much more! This day is always enjoyable and this year was no different in that all students and staff worked together to make the day memorable. 

As well as this, we had two representatives from St Vincent De Paul come and chat to our junior RE classes about their involvement within the community, the programs for youth and where their funds are donated to, they also allowed students to participate in a range of different activities regarding homeless statistics. These guests also delivered a presentation to all students from years 7-12 about the impact and effect of homelessness on families and individuals. We are looking forward to the week ahead, with many more exciting things to come.
