Welcome back to all families for the start of Term 3. Last night I was a guest of Australian Catholic University (ACU) as they welcomed delegates to the 25th General Assembly of the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU), which is being held in Melbourne this week. The theme of this Assembly is ‘Times change. Values don’t’. The Assembly coincides with the 25th anniversary of the establishment of ACU, and so it was a double celebration with Mass last night at St Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by a welcome reception at Melbourne’s sporting mecca, the MCG. Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews Next Wednesday July 22, Year 12 Parent/student/ teacher interviews are being held and all families are expected to attend. Year 11 Students studying Units 3 and 4 are also expected to attend with their parents. Parents were notified regarding the compulsory nature of these interviews in an earlier newsletter.
