Prayer Dear Lord We thank You for this new school year. We ask that You bless the students, their families and the staff that make our school a great place. May we explore together the territory of knowledge; May we learn together the mysteries of truth; May we share together the joy of friendship; May we release in each other the spark of creativity; and May we inspire others to follow Your call. We pray that You will guide us in all ways so that we will seek Your will in everything that we do. Live Jesus in our hearts. All: Forever. Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen

drive to keep on learning throughout their lives."

I am the centre of the universe I am part of the universe and I do what I
believe is right within the community
I take no responsibility for my actions I take full responsibility for my actions
I am ruled by my emotions – I’m in charge I can stand with my emotions – there are
many things I cannot control
I want a mother I seek a relationship with the feminine
Life is all about me. Life is about empowering other people
Life is easy. Life is challenging.Pastoral Care Team Heads of House College Counsellor • Carol Denny - Kelly • Valma Granich • Justin Leech - Morgan • Maria Garbin - Patrick College Psychologist • Pauline Van Lohuizen - Samson • Gabrielle Petta • Patrick Ryan - O’Connor • Jeremy Peris - Rice

Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemenA prayer for parents Let us all pray together: And as for me as a parent, Help me to love them without possessiveness. Help me to be firm and protect them when I must. Help me to be patient while they strive to find themselves. Help me to respect them for what You made them to be. Help me to guide them with Your wisdom and help me to love letting them go. And when the work is done and they are formed and raised and gone, Help me to turn back to You without my children and continue the journey wiser and more understanding of You. Live Jesus in our Hearts. All: Forever. Today’s boys…tomorrow’s gentlemen
