RNDM Sister Visits to Year 8 and Year 12 RE Classes

During our wellbeing period last week, our Year 8 cohort was fortunate to have the opportunity to hear from Sister Mary McInerney as she spoke about the many hardships Christians face. Through her presentation, we gained new insights into how Christians around the world experience hardship. She shared examples from the RNDM Congregation, where many Sisters endure struggles throughout their mission work.

One key message that we, as a year level, took away from this talk is that we must listen with our hearts and use our hands to help those who are going through difficult times and need our support.

On Monday 11 May, the Year 12 Religious Education cohort had the privilege of welcoming Sr Margaret Scott to the College. Recently appointed as the Congregational Leader of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM), Sr Margaret shared her experiences and highlights of missionary life, offering students a meaningful insight into faith in action. She reflected on the challenges she has faced throughout her ministry and explained how her relationship with God continues to motivate and guide her through difficult times. 

Sr Margaret also connected her missionary work in South Sudan to the College’s 2026 theme, “Hearts that Listen, Hands that Act,” inspiring students to consider how listening with compassion and responding through service can create meaningful change in the lives of others.

Reconciliation Week

Reconciliation Week at the College began with a meaningful liturgy led by our Year 12 Faith and Liturgy leaders. Together, the community reflected on the importance of acknowledging the land of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, and honouring Elders past and present. The liturgy invited students into prayer, scripture and reflection, highlighting Jesus’ call to love, mercy and compassion. 

Students were encouraged to consider how reconciliation is lived through everyday actions—listening, respecting others and standing against injustice. A symbolic activity, building a Wall of Tolerance and Love, reminded us that reconciliation is built slowly through shared commitment and unity. The liturgy set a powerful tone for the week, inspiring our community to walk together in hope, healing and understanding.
