Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,

Yesterday afternoon, we held our Blessing and Opening for the work completed in the B and E Block. We had several official guests that were invited including our Director, Paul Velten and MP Senator Jess Walsh. Fr Janeesh and our school leaders led us through a wonderful liturgy for the Blessing part of the ceremony and then after the buildings were blessed with Holy Water, we commenced the Opening Ceremony.

It was wonderful to welcome back some of our ex-staff members including Simon Dell’Oro and Jacki Taylor to celebrate with us. Many thanks to our choir for their wonderful work in preparing the songs for this special event. Thanks to Jo Peterson and Amali Fernando for their wonderful work with those students.

I would also like to acknowledge the work and support of my administration team in the office, Cindy and Alex. They have been an incredible source of support to me during the planning of this event. A big thank you also to Jacky Merrey for her support with the ICT requirements needed for this occasion and as always to executive leaders, Lisa and Donna, who kept the school running smoothly during my pre-occupation with this event. There will be photos of the Blessing and Opening further down in the newsletter. And of course, my wonderful staff and students. The students were to be commended yesterday as they remained reverent and respectful during the entire ceremony. This was noted by all of our special guests as well!

Take care and God Bless,

Meg
