Welcome back to the Leaders Lounge! Hope you are all settling well into the term and balancing life with school back on. Quite a few events have already passed this term and the Leadership Team couldn’t be happier with the student participation and school spirit.

The College’s Athletics Carnival was held last Friday and we were thrilled with the outcome! Most students, no matter what house, participated in various events and high spirits were all around. Students were positively encouraging others and prompting people to get involved to support their house and get points. The highlight as always was the house rivalry with the result from the day still to come. 

The Mother’s Day Mass took place last week celebrating the hardworking and loving mothers, nans, aunts of the community. A lovely breakfast was supplied as well as flowers provided by Billie-Lou Floral Studio. We thank all the beautiful, tough and amazing mothers of the Hennessy community that came early for this special celebration.

Hennessy Day was held yesterday. The theme was to dress up as something that starts with the first letter of your name! Students were creative and had fun as the Year 12 cohort and the Leadership team prepared some great PC games. There was also lolly, BBQ, drink and activity stalls 

To support the project of building two houses in Cambodia, the students part of the immersion program put on a Movie Night at the Cinema last Thursday 11th of May. Thank you to all who came in support of the students' efforts. Look out for more fundraising opportunities provided by the Cambodia programme. Currently there are Wood Raffle tickets being sold by students, don’t miss out!

Thank you for reading this week's edition of “The Leaders Lounge!”
