On Wednesday 19 February, we were fortunate to be joined by members of the RNDM Congregational Leadership Team from Rome, Italy, as well as our local Sisters from the Australian province. Their day with us commenced with our Opening College Mass to celebrate the Eucharist. This gave the whole school a great opportunity to reflect on this year's theme of 'Contemplation', a value taken from the RNDM Sisters' Charism. We also officially welcomed and blessed our new staff and students, our Year 12 students and our Captains.
Following Mass, the Sisters joined us in The Hywood Room to share their stories with our Years 11 and 12 Visual Art General students as part of an exciting upcoming project. They also met with all of our Year 7s in the Chapel after recess and our Young Vinnies students at lunch time to learn more about the positive work the Sisters do around the world, inspiring them to continue with their own Christian Service Learning.
To finish the day, the Sisters led our staff through a faith formation session in the Chapel.
Our whole College community were blessed to welcome them and we look forward to seeing them again in the future.
