Acting Principal's Message

Like millions around the world, our College community was deeply saddened by the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis, during the Easter break. On our first day back, as part of our whole-school Easter liturgy, we paused to pray and give thanks for his life, leadership and enduring legacy.

Over the years, many of our College themes have drawn inspiration from Pope Francis’ teachings. Our 2024 theme, “Caring for Our World,” was inspired by his encyclical Laudato Si’, which reminds us that the Earth is a precious gift from God—one we are all called to protect and cherish. His message challenges us to reflect deeply on how we live and urges us to act with love, compassion and responsibility toward both the planet and each other.

As a College, one of the most meaningful ways we can honour Pope Francis' legacy is by continuing the work we began last year as stewards of creation. This ongoing commitment reminds us that environmental care is not just a scientific or economic concern—it is also a spiritual and moral responsibility that unites us as a faith community.
