Thank you to everyone who helped with and contributed to Zara's funeral service on Monday. Our College Chapel was packed with family and friends, paying tribute to and celebrating her life. It was an opportunity to try to reconcile the jumble of thoughts, feelings and emotions that pour out at a time of tragic loss.
Staff have walked beside our students as they come to terms with their grief and it is a mark of our faith that we can support each other so genuinely in the most difficult of times. We have been humbled by the outpouring of support from our local community and others, including schools, from all over the country. We wish to publicly thank everyone who has emailed, sent cards of support or contributed to our staff welfare in so many ways. Your actions have been a tangible blessing for which we are truly grateful.
As this is the last week for seniors, we have had a number of events celebrating achievements. These include the Cuban Photographic Exhibition, Presentation of Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards and yesterdays Leaver's Assembly. We also had a visit from Br Bernard Gartland, the College Proprietor on Tuesday. We look forward to celebrating our successes more formally at our Graduation Mass and Prizegiving Ceremony 7pm on Monday evening.
May God bless you all
Paul Olsen, Principal
