1st March, 2016 Reflection God of infinite love God of infinite love, I thank you for this reminder of your love and your call that we be more patient, gentle and compassionate with others. Here in the middle of Lent, I turn to you to beg for your help. Please soften my heart. Help me to let go of judging others. I ask you this, in Jesus' name. Amen
Dear Parents and students, Last Thursday, Wedge Park PS received a hoax phone call and enacted their emergency procedures. When these situations occur Catholic Education Melbourne send out an email to all Catholic schools, this was the case last Thursday. At no time did CRC receive a hoax call or threat of any kind. Both St Catherine’s and CRC, due to their close proximity, decided to enact precautionary procedures. The decision was made to close the external gates and continue to monitor the situation and remain vigilant. Student safety and wellbeing is always our first consideration when these situations occur. Professional Learning Day Yesterday, our Middle Leaders were involved in a Professional Learning Day with Brendan Spillane, a highly acclaimed speaker, as our guest presenter. Brendan presented on ‘Leading for High Performance' and his starting point was Pope Francis’ motto- "Miserando atque eligendo", meaning lowly but chosen; literally in Latin 'by having mercy, by choosing him'. Other seminars on the day included Pathways planning Reading skills, Elearning, Numeracy Strategy, and Understanding Student Data. Year 12 Class of 2015 return Last Wednesday saw the return of over 100 of the class of 2015. The former students enjoyed a BBQ, a tour of the new Gadal building and caught up with their former teachers. Mark Sheehan Principal
