This week we farewell our Year 12 students. A key part of their farewell events is the Year 12 Final Mass which was held yesterday.

For our Year 12 students this was the last time they would gather as a school community to celebrate the Eucharist in a Church that they have visited numerous times throughout their years at Notre Dame College.

During our College Chaplain Fr Adi’s homily, he reminded the students that St Brendan’s will always be their home and that they will always be welcome to visit the Church to sit in the presence of God. He hoped that in many years to come they will remember their Final Year 12 Mass and that they will be able to reflect on the importance of their own faith journeys while at Notre Dame College.

As our Year 12 students move to the next chapter of their lives we pray that God will continue to journey with them and that they will always know the love of God. Each and every student has an amazing calling that God has given them so we pray that each student finds the path that will bring them true joy.

Please pray for our 2025 Year 12 students as many of them embark on further study, work opportunities, travel and more. In the spirit of Catherine McAuley and Marcellin Champagnat may they be positive contributors to society.

Have a great week,

Brendan Lindsay
