On the 15th of August we will celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (The Feast of the Assumption). This a holy day of obligation for the Catholic Church who must attend mass on this day. The Catholic Church in Australia has deemed this day of the same importance as that of Christmas Day. To acknowledge our Catholic heritage, Hennessy Catholic College is looking forward to celebrating together with parishioners and families of the College.
Next week the Pastoral Care Team will be looking at the final results of the first round of the Year 9 Rewards System. We are looking forward to celebrating the wonderful achievements with the Year 9 students and will discuss with them their choice of reward. The new rotation of Year 9 Rewards system will begin at the beginning of Week 6 and students will be eligible again for the Year 9 rewards program at the end of Week 10.
This week I began the CSYMA (Catholic Schools Youth Ministry Australia) Program with Year 10 students who have chosen to develop on their faith journey. The students identified they would like to in particular develop their leadership and share in their journeys with other year levels, our primary schools and our parish. I am looking forward to the fruits of the Spirit that will develop from this program
