21st May, 2013 Reflection Come, O Spirit of God and make within us your dwelling place and home. May our darkness be dispelled by your light, and our troubles calmed by your peace; May all evils be redeemed by your love, all pain transformed through the suffering of Christ, and all dying glorified by his risen life. Amen.
Congratulations
Celebration Day/Back to Parish Mass
Congratulations to Leanne Netto, Adam Benca and Emily O'Rourke.
On Thursday 23rd of May, students will start their day at their local parish church for morning Mass with their parish community. They will return to school by bus for Celebration Day activities with a barbecue lunch included. CRC staff will be at all parishes and supervise the return to school.
Leanne has been selected to represent Victoria in the Under 17 Indoor Cricket competition to be held in Sydney in June. Adam Benca (Year 12) and Emily O’Rourke (Year 10) have been selected to represent CRC in the School Sport Victoria 2013 Swimming Team. They will travel to Adelaide in September to compete at the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships. More details on page 3. Mark Sheehan Principal Collecting students before the end of the school day If students are to leave school before the end of the school day because of a pre arranged appointment it is necessary to have a parental note in their diary. Students leaving before the end of the day are to have their sign out note signed by their Year Level Coordinator before leaving. This arrangement also applies if the student has to go home because they are ill and the College office has contacted you to collect them. When it is time for them to leave, students report to Student Reception and have their details entered in the electronic system. In recent times the College office has been contacted by some parents to organise for the pick up of their child before the end of the school day because it has been wet and raining. A school of approximately 980 students cannot operate around such requests, and I appreciate the support of parents in this matter.
The College day will have a normal finish time of 3.20pm. Students are to wear PE uniform and are expected to make their own way to church and are required 15 minutes before Mass begins. Mass times: St Anthony’s 9.15am St Dominic’s 9.15am St Bernard’s 9.15am Upon return to school students will have the opportunity to be involved in a range of activities and events to celebrate the day. Year 12 Student Leaders have been meeting each Tuesday planning and organising the day. A variety of rides, food stalls and entertainment will be provided. The rides and entry to the DJ entertainment will have a small cost of $2 or students can purchase a wristband for $10, giving them unlimited rides and entry to the DJ entertainment in the Hall. Funds raised from the day will be distributed to Brother Beausang School Nairobi, St Vinnies and the Royal Children’s Hospital. VCAL and the Year 11 Business Management classes will be also be involved in the day providing food stalls. The canteen is not open on the day but students will be able to purchase food from the various stalls. Parents & Friends Meeting There will be a Parents & Friends meeting next Wednesday, 29th May at 7.30pm.
