From the Deputy Principal

These are the stories that are at the heart and soul of our College. We are about growth and achievement in the lives of our students. Not sporting, music or academic accomplishment for the sake of us saying, look how great we are. Well done students on a very challenging year.

Opening Prayer

Christmas Hope, Peace and Joy

Lord God, we pray that you will turn our hearts toward you as Christmas approaches. Let us not get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season this year and miss the chance to celebrate the gifts of hope, peace, joy and love that you sent to us on that first Christmas. That first Christmas, you gave us the gift of hope wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Thank you, God, for your immeasurable gift.

In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen
