Acting Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator
ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE
When Pope Francis wrote Laudato si in 2015, He called for consumers to modify their modern lifestyle by reducing waste, planting trees and separating rubbish. “The resolve to live differently should affect our various contributions to shaping the culture and society in which we live.” In response to this Mount Carmel will be starting a recycling program for bottles and cans to go with our existing paper and cardboard recycling. There is now a cage located near the entrance to the canteen for students to put their cans and bottles in which will be taken to recycling to earn 10c per item. This will not only reduce waste but raise money that can be used for environmental programs around the school such as planting trees and gardens. Staff also have special bins located in the staff rooms. Please be aware that cans cannot be crushed and bottles must still have their labels on them. It is important that only these items are placed in the cage to assist with the process.
COLLEGE UNIFORMS
A gentle reminder to parents/carers to please label all uniform items, lunch containers, drink bottles etc with their child’s full name. We already have a significant number of items in lost property and we are only three weeks into the school year. If your child has lost a garment of College uniform, lunch containers or brink bottle, please have them check student services at the front office.
With regard to College uniform, can we ensure that the College Sports jacket is only worn on Tuesdays and days where students are wearing sport uniform.
MURRAY DAY & HOUSE ASSEMBLIES
A great morning of celebration for our Murray House today with all students participating in a liturgy, followed by a house assembly led by the Murray house Captains. This was followed by a sausage sizzle fundraiser with all proceeds going to support the great work of Caritas Australia.
Avila, Howard and MacKillop houses also held assemblies today led by the respective House Captains. The assemblies showcased the many opportunities that all students can connect and be involved in the College community. The Captains also highlighted the upcoming sporting events for this term. Photos will be in next week's newsletter.
