College Masses
The College celebrates the Eucharist together with four College Masses each year:
- Commencement and Year 7 Mass of Welcome
- Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat
- Heritage Day – held on or close to the Feast of the Assumption
- Mass of Gratitude – held on the final day of school for the Year 12 students.
Each Mass celebrates a different season in the life cycle of our College community and incorporates the traditions of our dual charism. Students and staff are invited to participate in the Mass regardless of their personal faith tradition.
Mass is also celebrated in the College Chapel each Friday morning at 8.10am – 8.35am during the school term, where staff, students and Parishioners are welcome to attend.
Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is commemorated in the College each year with a Liturgy of the Word.
This is a day for us to gather in our House communities to commence the Christian season of Lent, for students to consider their participation in the Lenten season and to receive the Ashes, which are provided by our local Parishes.
Holy Week / Easter Liturgy
The College commemorates the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ with a creative liturgy led by the students each year.
This may occur prior to the end of term or at the commencement of the following term, depending on the College calendar and the date of Easter Sunday.
House Celebrations
Each House holds an annual House Celebration with a prayer service which includes a celebration of student and staff achievements, a reflection on the House charism and a social justice or fundraising activity.
House Celebration Days
Each House is allocated a day on the College Calendar to come together, to learn about their charism and to champion a social justice cause through awareness raising or fundraising. A House Prayer Service is at the core of the celebration offering students an opportunity to gather as a body with their Heads of House and Tutors.
