PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
We have a jam packed newsletter this week showcasing many of the wonderful things have been happening at John Therry. Our College is always full of life and this newsletter showcases many of these wonderful events and activities we are involved in.
We are very excited to announce that Clover will be arriving into the care of our community tomorrow morning! Clover was named after a number of surveys, and almost doubled the next highest name in the final survey. It will still be a little while before Clover makes it into school regularly but we will keep everyone updated on social media about how Clover is progressing.
Year 12 Graduation is the highlight of next week and we look forward to celebrating the culmination of 13 years of schooling with our students. Year 12 have been finishing their time here very well, with a very respectful enjoyment of their final few weeks. The hard work of preparation for the HSC continues through the holidays with exams commencing in Week 1 of Term 4.
I had the pleasure of attending the Bishop's Student Excellence Awards on Thursday 7th September, where one Year 12 student from each Catholic College in the Diocese is acknowledged for their contribution to catholic life and education. With an outstanding Year 12 group and many very worthy students who could have been nominated, we congratulate Olivia Wolczak who received the award for John Therry.
I was joined by Mrs Phillips and Mr Barton to celebrate with Olivia Wolczak and her family. Congratulations Olivia on this most significant achievement.
Dear Heavenly Father,
As our Year 12 students stand on the threshold of graduation and the commencement of their exams, we lift them up in prayer. Grant them strength to face challenges, wisdom to answer questions, and peace to calm their hearts.
May they remember the knowledge gained, friendships forged, and growth achieved during their time in school. Bless their efforts with success and open doors to bright futures.
Guide them through this season of change, instill confidence in their abilities, and fill their hearts with hope. May they continue to shine as they step into the world.
In Your name, we pray.
Amen.
A reminder that the first day back next term will be a pupil free day. This was provided by the Government to support the implementation of the new syllabus documents that are being implemented from next year.
