14th February, 2017 Reflection You know every decision Heavenly Father, You know every decision I need to make and every challenge I face. Please forgive me for this time that I try to figure this life out on my own. I need you. I need your Holy Spirit to give me strength, wisdom and direction. Amen
Dear Parents and Students, 2016 VCE/VCAL Awards Assembly (an edited version of the Principal’s address) It is a great pleasure to be at the 2016 Awards Assembly today with our high achieving students being recognised. In focusing on the Year 12 class of 2016, I was reminded by their leaders last year that this particular cohort was in Year 7 when the first VCE/ VCAL classes were introduced to CRC Melton in 2011. They have been a significant part of the history of our College, as we have matured as a school. They have observed four cohorts take up the challenge of the senior years with all its joys and disappointments. And they have experienced the ‘step up’ required in terms of hard work as a student needs to do in Years 11 and 12. Over their six years, the class of 2016 emerged last year as great role models, great champions of social justice, keen participants in sport and the arts, and as we see today fine academic achievers. It’s still early days at CRC Melton in terms of Year 12 at Melton. Many Catholic schools have been at it for decades. We rely on our senior students to set a good example for the younger ones to follow and you have done so - its about the culture of the school. ‘We stand on the shoulders of those who go before us’ Congratulations to all achievers today from Years 7-12 in 2016. Best wishes on your next stage of life’s journey. College Dux Kitty Robinson who achieved an ATAR of 95.95.
