PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE
This is our last newsletter of the year. As is to be expected, it has been a very full year with many highlights and a few challenges. Thank you once again for your welcome to me as a new member of the community.
Last Friday, we farewelled our Year 10s with a Mass and Graduation ceremony. The Mass was, by far, the most enthusiastic and joyous Year 10 final Mass that I have experienced. The Graduation ceremony was also filled with much emotion. The highlight for me was probably the guard of honour for the students with our students (including Prep students), staff and parents providing a carnival-like atmosphere. Our Year 10s were a very fine group, a credit to themselves, their families and St Aloysius.

On Monday this week, we welcomed a large number of new students and their parents to Orientation Day. There was the usual mix of nerves and excitement. Hopefully, the students and their parents went home feeling more confident and less nervous about starting at a new school next year.
The Graduation of one group of students and the orientation of a new group is all part of the cycle of school life. The same goes for staff. Below you will find the names of staff leaving us this year. We will miss each one of them and thank them for their wonderful service. You will also find the names of new members of staff. We have recruited very well and I am excited about what the future holds. My experience in the past has been that staffing movement continues right up until the start of school, the below lists may have further additions before we start the 2022 school year.
Best wishes for the last weeks of 2021 and every blessing for Christmas.
