This month has been very busy for RE and Faith Formation activities. A big thank you to our wonderful Social Justice Captains who have been very active promoting and fundraising for the Vinnies Christmas Appeal. Donations have been piling up under our gorgeous Christmas tree on display in the Hub. We are very grateful for all of these donations and encourage students to continue to bring these in. Families can also make monetary donations via the Qkr! app. Our Social Justice Captains, along with the rest of the Student Leadership Team, have also been busy hosting a number of activities to further support the appeal, including a cake stall, the sale of lolly bags and raffles. More fun activities have been planned for next week.

Year 7 to 10 have also participated in Formation Days this month, with Year 8’s day to be held this coming Tuesday. These days have centred around the themes of friendship, knowing our personal attributes, identifying the gifts of others and teamwork. Mornings are spent participating in activities aimed at self development and personal spirituality, whilst afternoons focus on outdoor competitive activities to help form stronger bonds among the year group. Congratulations to our Year 10 Youth Ministry students who successfully led our Year 7s in their Formation Day on Tuesday. 

Our Senior Retreat will be held on February 15 to 17 2023, Week 3 Term 1. Families have been emailed information regarding this very important formation event. Please contact the College if you have any queries.

Our final formation event will be our Giving Service which will be held on Tuesday Week 10. This service will be led by our Year 9 Youth Ministry students and we are very much looking forward to this prayerful celebration of the Christmas season.
