秀秀直播

In Week 3 of Term 4, the canonisation of Oscar Romero, (a 秀秀直播 Guild Patron), Pope Paul XI and 5 other saints coincided well with the 秀秀直播 Year 12 Graduation week. In his homily on the occasion of the cannonisation of the seven newest saints of the Catholic church, Pope Francis invited those who tuned-in around the world to consider the personal response of each of them to place of Jesus in their lives:

Let us ask ourselves where we are in our story of love with God. Do we content ourselves with a few commandments or do we follow Jesus as lovers, really prepared to leave behind something for him?

As our Year 12鈥檚 conclude their time at the College and prepare now for the unfolding journey of their lives that awaits them, it is our hope that we as a nurturing community of inclusivity and faith have invited them into what will be an ongoing journey of transformation through their encounter of the good news, which may become the personal Gospel of their own lives.

Years鈥� 7 鈥� 12 Sacramental Program

In Term 4, the College will be sharing with families details regarding a new opportunity that has been extended by the Archdiocese of Perth for secondary schools to develop age-appropriate preparation programs that support secondary-aged students who may have missed the opportunity to prepare and receive the sacraments in Primary school. This model is a first for secondary schools, and provides an opportunity for the College to provide a school-based preparation program that connects students to local parishes to then receive the sacraments. Here at 秀秀直播, we have had a number of families express the desire for their daughters and sons to have the opportunity to prepare to receive the sacraments in secondary school. In this Year of Youth, Bishop Donald Sproxton (Auxiliary Bishop 鈥� Archdiocese of Perth) has extended this opportunity to all secondary students in our Archdiocese on behalf of Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB.

I invite you to make contact with me if you would like to discuss this opportunity further, or to express an interest in advance of the details of this program being shared with our College community later in Term 4.

The night would not have been complete without the street art performers, our 鈥淗ope Angels鈥� and the 鈥榬eal time鈥� construction of our 鈥淗ope Filled Hearts鈥� community art installation, both art experiences emulating our Marist theme of 鈥淗ope鈥� for 2018.

On Wednesday 10 October, our three-day Arts Festival began with the opening of the Student Art Show.聽 It was wonderful to see our families coming together to enjoy a joyous expression of our students’ creative energies. The best works from students across K-Y12 was on display along with craft activities, giant games, Music performances, Silent Statues, Performance Art, face painting and a delicious sausage sizzle!

In addition, throughout the evening artists young and old wrote a hopeful message which was hung on strings to form a heart. Hope Filled Hearts was an installation designed by Coordinator of Drama Miss Bethwyn Legg to inspire a community collaboration of art making centered around our Marist theme of Hope.

We were delighted to have our 2018 Artist in Residence Andy Quilty present on the evening who spoke about the highlights of the program and shared his wealth of knowledge to inspire our students to take risks with their work. Families also had the opportunity to view and purchase a number of pieces of work by Andy.

Congratulations to all students who received an award for both Visual Art and Digital Technologies. It was fantastic to celebrate this new generation of artists. A key element of the Arts Festival’s mission is to promote exposure to art and art education to the youth in our community. Please view the list of award winners here聽

Thank you to all of the staff, parent and student volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the night such a success!
