16th July, 2013 Reflection When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep your faith and drop negativity. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
Welcome back to all families for the start of Term 3 As you were aware I was on Enrichment leave for the last three weeks of Term 2, and spent that time along with my wife in Spain, France and the UK. One occasion I would like to share with you was our time at the Sagrada Familia- The Basilica of the Holy Family
There was a long queue of tourists lined up on a sunny Sunday morning in June when we arrived for 9am Mass. A guide directed us to the Chapel underneath the main nave. Mass was celebrated in Spanish and the presiding Priest was most welcoming to visitors. He called all visitors forward at the end of Mass, inquired about our nationality, and gave us a special blessing. We then lit some candles for families at CRC who were in need of special prayers at the time. Two weeks later we heard the sad news of the sudden death of Brodie Wilson, a former student at CRC Melton from 2008 until 2011. Our thoughts and prayers are with Julie and family at this time of grief. On another note, I would like to acknowledge John Christie who acted as College Principal during my absence. Please note the important information from John regarding current events. Mark Sheehan Principal
