Our whole school community gathered in the Nalleijerring Centre for our first Whole School Mass of 2026, celebrated during National Reconciliation Week. Led by Rev Fr Vinh Nguyen and assisted by Deacon Tri, the Eucharist invited us to reflect on reconciliation, justice, mercy, and our shared responsibility to walk together with respect and compassion. Through prayer, Scripture, music, and symbolic offertory gifts from each year level, students reflected on themes of healing, belonging, and hope. Fr Vinh’s homily challenged us to consider how we live mercy in real and tangible ways within our relationships, school, and wider community. At the conclusion of the Mass, each year level was commissioned and blessed for the experiences and opportunities of next week’s Activity Week, including camps, retreats, exams, and learning programs. We also keep Deacon Tri in our prayers as he prepares to be ordained to the priesthood tomorrow, and we give thanks for his generous witness of faith and service. We thank all students and staff who contributed so thoughtfully to this meaningful celebration of faith and community.
