Shrove Tuesday
On Tuesday morning, we will hold our annual Shrove
Tuesday pancake breakfast in the Valley. This is a combined Junior Years and Prefect initiative to raise
money for Edmund Rice Camps.
Edmund Rice Camps provide holiday experiences for young people
aged 7-16 years. Many of the participants come from what could be considered as marginalised or disadvantaged
backgrounds who are not in a position to afford such an experience. The money raised will contribute to
making this a reality for a number of these young people.
Junior Years Representative Council
At our Junior Years Assembly last Friday, Student Representative Council (SRC) members for Year 1-6 classes
were announced. I was honoured to present students with badges and I applaud them for their desire to
serve Rostrevor and the community. Students and families should be justifiably proud.
The following
young men were identified through a democratic voting process in each class and their nominations were
supported by Pastoral Care staff. Their roles are, in the first instance, to offer another level of leadership
at the classroom level as they provide positive role modelling to their peers. It is also their responsibility,
via classroom meetings, to represent the opinions of their classmates at our SRC Meetings which are held
twice per term. Through this mechanism we aim to provide them with an opportunity to build on their leadership
strengths, to raise any concerns the students in their class may have or to promote opportunities to assist
the boys in our care.
I would like to congratulate these young men on their roles:
Year 1: Gabriel Leonard and Aristo Wiguna
Year 2: Anthony
Cerracchio and Harry Isaac
Year 3: Henry Askem and Daniel Piteo
Year 4: Dan McGuire-Coward and Thomas Ford
Year 5B:
Jakub Camm and Max Penna
Year 5R: Thomas Hancock and Miles Fotheringham
Year 6B: Simon Vello and Bradley Sweet
Year 6R: Bailey Patterson
and Luca Fantasia
Thought for the Week
Together with a culture of work,
there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take
the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
- Pope Francis
With this in mind, have a wonderful weekend!
God bless.
