October 19 2017 Edition 15Acknowledgement of Traditional OwnersSacred Heart College acknowledges and pays respect to the Kwat Kwat people, the original custodians of the land on which we educate our students. Members of the College community commit themselves to actively work alongside Indigenous people for reconciliation and justice.

ReflectionA Vision for CommunityThe following words are that of a Jesuit priest who died in a very poor, black area of Washington DC, where he gained a wonderful reputation for creating shelters for the homeless, providing meals and medical, dental and legal help. Among his papers after his death at age 80 was found this note, which he had written to himself.Then, in my dreams of the Last Day,Our Lord will come back and reward us for having, by his grace, straightened the world out, and having the poor competent and the rich thoughtful and the well- protected kindly and generous and involved, and the educated enthralled with the kingdom of God, and the spiritual able to perceive him in such a way as to make him visible to us.The words in the tradition of our Mercy charism, sum up well our hopes for all of our students being informed, being involved and making a difference.

Principal’s ReportCanberra Leadership CampThis week our Year 11 prospective leaders took part in the Canberra Leadership Camp. Once again students from Sacred Heart joined with leaders from FCJ College Benalla to participate in the three day experi-ence. This year students visited the High Court and Parliament House where they were spoken to by Members for Indi, Cathy McGowan and Member for Murray, Damian Drum. Students had the opportunity to attend question time in the Senate and the House of Representatives. In addition, students visited the Australian institute of Sport and Telstra Tower. This trip would not have been possible without the support of the Yarrawonga Mulwala Rotary Club whose ongoing support has allowed this Leadership Camp to continue for the past three years.

Year 12 Graduation LiturgyThis year’s Graduation Liturgy and Award Ceremony will be held in the Sacred Heart Church next Wednesday, October 25. We are delighted to have the Di-rector of Catholic Education for the Sandhurst Diocese in attendance for this important event. On behalf of all our community, I wish our Year 12 and Year 11 students undertaking acceleration, all the best as they prepare for the upcoming exams.

End of year EventsParents and guardians are advised that shortly a detailed letter will be sent home outlining the organizational requirements for key events including the

Head Start Program, book collection, First aid course, Final Mass and Award Ceremony and the College dance. This correspondence will contain important dates and key information regarding these events.
