On Wednesday 12^th February McAuley celebrated the beginning of school with Mass in our school hall. During this Mass, the newly elected leaders of the school were inducted into our McAuley Community.

The school captains introduced Aunty Sue for the Welcome to Country and then Mr Moore welcomed Fr George, students, staff, parents and friends. Mr Moore spoke of the importance of relationship and community and how much he is looking forward to the year ahead.

The school community prayed for 2020 to be a new beginning for McAuley with the theme of ‘Belonging’ the focus for the school year.

‘When two or three are gathered in my name I am there among them’ Matthew 18:20

Following the Mass, parents and our school leaders joined with the staff for morning tea. It was pleasing to see so many parents who joined in our celebration and our morning tea. 

McAuley is extremely proud of our leaders for 2020. Through their example they will provide a model for all students through Christian leadership and service to our school.

McAuley’s first Parish Mass is THIS Saturday 22^nd February at 6pm. Our school leadership team for 2020 have been invited to lead this celebration. All of the leadership team have received a letter inviting them to one of their first official duties as a representative of McAuley.

PRAYER - Loving God, may we open our hearts and minds to all that you call us to be. May we strive to reach our potential and shine forth your glory in us.

Amen.
