This Morning's End Of Term 3 Chapel Service | Event Wrap & Photos
This Morning's End Of Term 3 Chapel Service | Event Wrap & Photos
This morning's End Of Term 3 Chapel Service was a great way to reflect as we finish off a very busy 10 weeks.
College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot delivered his homily that focused on understanding ourselves and the people around us.
He also shared with our students and staff how easy it can be to stop being judgemental, and become the best version of ourselves.
College Principal Mr Dan Walker then shared the exciting news about the commencement of the construction of our new Bareibunn Precinct in the Junior School campus.
The announcement was met with cheers from our current Prep and Year 1 students, who will move into these fully modern classrooms in about 10 months' time.
Have a great break and see you all back here for Term 4, starting Tuesday 3 October after Monday's King's Birthday Queensland Public Holiday.
More photos from our End Of Term 3 Chapel Service can be found shortly on our Facebook Page HERE.
