We welcome back all students for Term 4. Along with the usual array of activities across the term, please note below some important community events and end of year dates.
The last day for Year 12 students is Tuesday, 18 October. On this evening, we look forward to gathering with students and families at St Dominic’s Church for a Graduation Eucharist. We are grateful this cohort has had a relatively normal school year, with many opportunities throughout 2022 to gather and celebrate. In the final days, the Year 12 students will share many special moments in final assemblies and farewells. We keep these students in our prayers as they prepare for their final examinations.
May God who has begun such good work in our students,
carry it through to completion,
enabling them to use their talents to the fullest.
May God give them the grace to make wise choices
and be faithful to their commitments,
always confident in the support of those who love them.
May God bless our Year 12 students with discomfort at easy answers,
half-truths, and superficial relationships,
so that they will live deep within our heart.
May God bless them with anger at injustice,
oppression, and exploitation of people,
so that all Siena graduates will work for justice, equality and peace.
May God bless them with tears to shed for those who
suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war,
so that each may play their part in reaching out
in comfort and solidarity.
May God bless our graduates with wise foolishness
to think that they can make a difference in the world,
so that they will do the things
which others say cannot be done.
May the integrity of our service and the talents or our graduates
be a gift to the world
and may the Spirit of God be with each of them, always.
Amen.
