On Thursday we celebrated Remembrance Day, which is celebrated on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. An on-line whole school ceremony was held and was hosted by our student leaders, who are to be commended on their efforts. A minutes’ silence was also observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation. We remember in faith all who have served, and continue serving in our armed forces, especially those who have died and those wounded in battle.

We also remember at this time to pray for healing and peace; that one day, all peoples will lay down their arms and embrace one another as brothers and sisters in one human family. Lord our God, on this day of remembrance, we entrust all our prayers and needs to Your infinite mercy. Help us to become ever more mindful of the bonds that unite us as a human family, despite our differences. Heal our inner wounds and outward divisions, that one day our world might live in Your true and lasting peace.

Year 10 Graduation Ceremony

We received some very good news this week. With the new easing of restrictions, we are now able to conduct an on-site Year 10 Graduation Ceremony and Assembly. However, due to the ongoing restrictions, unfortunately parents and carers are not able to attend the event. We will be livestreaming the Graduation Ceremony allowing parents to watch the event live from their homes. The Graduation ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday 25 November. Given that we only recently received MACS endorsement to hold the event, more detailed information regarding the Graduation will be provided to parents next week.

Expressions of Interest to join the new Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs School Advisory Council

All the Catholic parish and diocesan schools in the Melbourne Archdiocese are now under the guidance and governance of Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). In keeping with the objectives of the MACS Constitution, which states “The good work of educating the young, undertaken in the light of the Gospel, is a co-responsible task led by every member of the Catholic school community”, the School Advisory Council provides a crucial point of connection and support between the wider school community and school leaders.

We are beginning the process to establish a CRC Caroline Springs, School Advisory Council, beginning in 2022. While the School Advisory Council does not have governance responsibility or decision-making authority, it supports the Principal and School Leadership team.

A letter to parents/carers inviting expressions of interest to join the School Advisory Council is available through this link.

I strongly encourage parents/carers to consider undertaking this important service. If you would like to receive an information pack to help your deliberations, about whether to apply to join the CRC Caroline Springs SAC, please email enquiries@crccs.vic.edu.au
