Dear Kevinians and Supporters
Happy St Kevin's Feast Day. Today the College has taken the opportunity to celebrate our patron, St Kevin of Glendalough. St Kevin was an Irishman who lived in the 6th century and is noted for his commitment to prayer, education and the environment. His message is just as timely 1500 years later as we face issues of global warming and social injustice. Mrs Austin emphasised at the liturgy the links with the our Christian Brothers heritage and noted that we join St Kevin's Toorak, Melbourne, in celebrating the occasion. I am looking forward to visiting the historic ruins at Glendalough during my sabbatical in term three.
Earlier in the week at assembly Mr Greg Richardson, from Agribusiness presented the certificates for National Certificate in Rural Machinery Level 2 to Callum Knowler, Adam Blakely, Patrick Perniskie, Jackson Reid, Jacob Turnout, Clayton Byrne, Isak Gunnarsson and Shaun Kelliher. Congratulations and thank you to Mrs Eatherley for organising the programme.
On Thursday, we hosted representatives from the Sophie Elliot Foundation and Police who delivered the first seminar in the Year 12 "Loves Me Not" programme. St Kevin's is pleased to be part of the New Zealand pilot and feed back has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to Mrs Burton for coordinating this very important work.
I would like to end by wishing everyone a relaxing and warm Queens Birthday weekend.
May the blessing of St Kevin be with us and enrich our lives.
Paul Olsen, Principal
